Hello guys ! I'm new to this Forum and in the world of DCS.
I also realized there were problems regarding the distance from which objects get visbile in the game.
I created a mission to start training with A/G weapons. I placed two rows of Fuel Tanks on an Island.
Regardless of the selected in game visibilty I wasn't able to see the tanks until ~1NM inbound :(.
I played around with some figures in the graphics.lua and found something that worked nicely for me to set the Range from which the objects started to get visible.
I tried it with visibility set to Medium and changed the graphics.lua
under
camera
medium=
The line that changed the object visibility for me is :
dynamic = {300, 12000}; //Standard setting
I changed it to :
dynamic = {12000, 30000}; //New setting
While the fuel tanks appeared on standard settings when within ~1NM
I could now see them already from 15NM out.
Hope this works for you as well.
(Worked for me also when flying in VR)
