Vehicle view distance problems

Tim Heldna told me he has heard of this from others an d it was a bug with TLK so I am asking.

What is causing my buggy (stock from racing) to have it's wheels LOD be in a very short range? Could be the entire car, not sure didn't see any difference.

The LOD aggressiveness, set in the preferences, solves the problem. There's a thread around here I just saw today on it too... hmm.

Hi Ron,

That's not a bug, Torque allows you to change how aggressively the dts lod takes effect (for higher performance). To get the same results as the TGE racing demo set these prefs to the following values:

$pref::TS::detailAdjust = "1";
$pref::TS::screenError = "10";

Yeah I found that one C2 and the settings involved setting

$pref::TS::screenError = "0.001";
$pref::TS::detailAdjust = "2";

I set my detail Adjust 2 4 and it looks absolutley perfect. I then adjusted the setting so I could have maximum distance and set it to adjust to a better value for lower end systems in my optionsdlg file.Works great now.
