What is GMax View Distance Maximum

[Guest]

I appreciate the responses but none so far seems to answer the question. I am including a couple of screen prints to give you a better idea of what I am trying to do and the problem I have run into with it.The first is the view from about 5 nm west of KATL. It shows only a VERY small percentage of the entire scenery graphic. That is the final ILS approach area into 26R and 27L. You can also see the beginning of the departure climbs out of 26L and 27R.The second image is a view from the south that shows even more of the overall view. The yellow rings represent respectively the 10 and 20 nm radius around KATL that is normally seen on ATC radar screens. Of the 4 sets of graphic lines you see, the blue lines are the approach patterns ATC normally use to track aircraft into 26R. The light green lines are the normal departure tracks out of 26L. You can also see portions of the same tracks for the south runways. I was not able to show you the entire view because I am as far out and zoomed as far out as I can. If I backed up any further the entire graphic goes poof--totally disappears.The third image is a top down view of the entire graphic. But again, I could not show you the entire image in one single screen print. This image was actually produced by combining 4 separate screen prints that are a bit overlapped. If I try to go any higher or zoom out any more, again the entire graphic disappears.In further experimentation I find that although the GMax export seems to accept up to but no more than about 60000 meters, in reality the image disappears at about 10000 meters--not even 37 nm but rather at a little over 10 nm.VERY frustrating! It seems rather silly to put such an abitrary limit on the view distance!I did visit the www.gmaxsupport.com and searched the forum but found no answers there either.If ANYONE can come up with a way around this limit, I would certainly appreciate it.Happy Flying!Bill MolonyAtlanta GA USAUnder the 27L Approach to KATL--the busiest airport in the world :)
