Separate view distances for air and ground

[Digitalvole]

Would this be possible? I currently have my view distance set to High (play in VR so in a constant battle to keep frame times decent) but I won’t see contrails or missile launches from other aircraft unless I zoom in. I’ll hear Jester tell me about a missile launch but I can’t see it unless I zoom in, which is a bit annoying as it’s not always clear on which part of the screen i need to zoom in on whilst I’m yanking and banking.

Any chance we could have different view distances for air and ground please ED?

I have the same issue with view distance set to Ultra. I don’t think it’s related to that. But yeah it’s rather odd.

Ah interesting, so maybe we just need longer view distances on contrails/missile smoke in general? I have no idea how far away you can see such things irl but the way it’s done in DCS just doesn’t seem correct. Hopefully it will be improved at some point.

possibly related to how TGP sees nothing (solid green) beyond 45nm?
