It really sucks that flightgear is unable to show the terrain out to the horizon for a given altitude. I searched on google and the mailing list archives about the LOD and really found nothing.

FG uses a fog effect to make the scenery fade out towards the horizon so a) it is more realistic, and b) keeps frame rates high. The fog depth used depends on the visibility reported by the METAR, but you can change it dynamically using z/Z. As you increase the vibility level you'll probably see your frame-rate drop. Alternatively, if you are using the "Fair Weather" Weather Scenario, you can change it in the preferences.xml file - look for "visibility-m". LOD is used for models and textures. I can't remember the details from the top of my head. Hope this helps. -Stuart Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-users
