FS9 could be tricked quite easy
MipBias=12
//MipBias=7
TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=25
//TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21
that way it did not change back the vertex 25 or the mipbias 12 when closing the Sim but I did not know if that works also when changing a ingame setting and close sim think I have to run a test for that ;)
