Aircraft view distance.

[Cagles]

Hello,

I am wondering, is there a way that I can see aircraft at a further distance then the default 0.7NM?

I was looking in the FSX.CFG but can seem to find where to edit.

Can you help?

It might be something to do with "SmallPartRejectRadius" ... though I'm not sure ...

Is that the same medication that we all get spammed daily about?

Cagles you aren't particularly clear here. You mean looking at the aircraft in spot view?

Try CRTL and + or - to move the viewpoint closer or further from the aircraft when in spot view. But, not sure that's exactly what you are after. Hope it helps.

I think he is referring to the draw distance that you can view the aircraft in flight as some cfg tweaks minimize this distance so you can only see the aircraft from 0.3 NM away to solve this locate "SmallPartRejectRadius" in your fsx cfg. And set the distance to 1.0 ... problem solved

Ohhh.... see other aircraft at distance? Gotcha!
Thanks, didn't know that one!

Frankly .. i only look at an aircraft from a distance if only to check out the scenery and if you want those distance shots the sim has many other camera and view options .
