Anyone know?

#1 Whats the issue?

That it's low-detail at a distance?
It's actually on purpose, since you will rarely need the high-detail on a distance.
Anw you can tweak the distance and sizes etc when you are setting up the terrain under the field "distance", you should have a look at the "Creating a terrain" tutorial in the documentation.

#2 @raa: It is a setting inside the textures on the terrain ... look at the Terrain Painter tool inside the World Editor. Each texture has a detail texture and that has a "detailDistance" which is set to 50 by default. I typically use a 500 setting on mine and it seems to look fine.

new TerrainMaterial()
{
	internalName = "pack_sand05";
	diffuseMap = "art/terrains/DesertA/sand05.dds";
	normalMap = "art/terrains/DesertA/sand05_NORM.dds";
	detailMap = "art/terrains/DesertA/sand05_DETA.dds";
	detailSize = "4";
	parallaxScale = "0.055";
	detailDistance = "500";
};

HTH

#3 Thanks for that, looks like it was just the detail distance. So where do I change that?

#4 The documentation under World Editor - several tutorials there....
