Zooming out and View Distance.
Hello.
I noticed that, the further I zoom out, the further the game starts to reduce the detail on the map. There's this "fog" effect that prevents the game from lagging to much, but, if you zoom out rather far, the net result is that you can actually see less of the map then one did if he was zoomed in.

Could the view distance be increased or the max zoom heigth be adjusted towards the view distance to fix this issue?

I've noticed this as well, all the way back to my old retail MC2. It's... awkward, especially on higher-res displays.

Re: Zooming out and View Distance.
We have many models with much higher number of polygons then the original Mc2. Very few of them have LODs. Until the LODs are done for all game objects I have to reduce the number of objects displayed by the distance from camera, sorry.
