I think the rendering distance for objects (vehicles / buildings / collidable trees / etc.) is controlled by java code - so outside of il2ge's scope.
Regarding (non-collidable) trees: not without lots of work

If it was a Java thing we would have had that mod years ago, I want to believe. If it was a object thing, many objects would have been converted already, I want to believe. Some objects have a particularity that allows a longer rendering distance (ie airfield plates, carriers, effects). I have no idea how it works but there seems to be this 5km radius bubble impacting trees and ground objects in a similar way.

In any case, thanks for listening!

In that case it's the same as for the non-collidable trees: even more work

I would have to re-write the rendering (and animation) routines from scratch as well as loading meshes and materials from file.
Maybe I could reuse code from Stainless for that (?)

Collecting inputs from experienced modders (personal/common knowledge) are the very first step before proceeding any further. I am afraid there is nothing else I can add.

Hi Slibenli just seen a tip for faster texture rendering : Change [OPENGL] TexMipFilter=3 to =2. Would this impact il2ge? Away from pc at mo so cant check what mine is set too.

IL2GE isn't directly impacted by the setting.
I have hard-coded the the filtering to trilinear, which is equivalent to TexMipFiler=2.
I will make this configurable to allow anisotropic filtering (TexMipFiler=3).
Since IL2GE only renders terrain, the setting still impacts everything that IL2GE doesn't render.
So overall the setting could make a difference.

I couldn't resist to investigate whether it is feasible to re-implement the effect-system.

Looks good so far

Wind speed and direction is still hardecoded.

I'm hitting F5 on this thread 10 times a day, I shall see a doctor

Can't wait for buildings/trees shaders rework
