How to increase draw distance of people?

[dresoccer4]

Anyone know how to increase the draw distance of soldiers? I made a Dunkirk mission with soldiers all over the beach. This should be able to be seen from far as there are so many and would cover the beach. However only a couple miles away and they completely disappear. I want to change a setting or LUA file to have DCS draw them from further away. 

 

Anyone know which file to change? Thanks

The LOD file. on the shapes folder, near the edm there is a .lod file, open it up with any text editor and increase the lod number.

 

If it is a default asset, you can find it in DCS World/Bazar/World/Shapes or DCS World/CoreMods/Tech/WW2/Shapes

hmmm, i increased the second number to 10000 but infantry still seem to disappear at the same distance. did i change the incorrect number?

 

model = {
    lods = {
        {"infantry_typed_aks-74.edm",50.000000};
        {"infantry_typed_aks-74_lod.edm",10000.000000};
    };
    collision_shell = "infantry_collision.edm";
}
