View distance when flying the F4

FUBAR

I have a question for you guys that fly the F4 a lot. I set my object distance near max, get about 40-45 fps which is acceptable for me, but I feel like I can see a lot further in eden editor while flying than on servers. Does the server host usual set the max view distance? I find on the servers it is always very foggy, and by the time I am flying near a target I barely have time to engage because I am almost over it.

This isnt noticeable or an issue while flying choppers, but the F4 is so fast that it’s difficult for me to use, as opposed to when Im in editor and have my view distance set high.

The view distance can be forced by the server. It depends on the mission and addons how to change it, if possible at all. I've used CHVD mod/script in the past in my missions to give players the opportunity to change the view distance.

cool. Im going to look into using that script in my missions so whomever is running the server/ whomever is playing can choose that for themselves.

However, this leads me to my next question. If I set the view distance high by default when creating the mission, the individual players can also always change it using their settings, could they not? When would this make sense to use or be necessary?

Thanks Tetet
