runway visibility

Featured Replies

Hello, wondered if anyone noticed, that when your'e coming for approach in fsx, you can start see the runway/lights clearly just about 6 miles away, even if the visibility is greater then 20 miles? why is that? can i change that? any help appreciated, thanks very much! Daniel

LOD that FSX uses I'm guessing. It's used to save performance.

Yes LOD Radius is in the FSX.cfg. Not sure how high it can go. I think default is 4, not sure haven't edited mine in a long time. Kinda got things where I wanted them then stopped edited it awhile ago.

Be very careful increasing LOD, it's a huge resource hog & can easily lead to oom's, freezes, etc...
