how to get a greater viewdistance? / how to disable weather system?

[ventzer0 3]

Hi there,

I've tried everything to get the viewdistance up on my private hive. Nothing seems to work.

setViewDistance 10000;
0 setFog 0;

Doesnt work in the init.sqf

I can play with the distance all I want its always stuck on default. Even tried to disable the weather system but all this fiddling with .bisign files is very confusing and didnt work (a clear userfriendly documentation would be very helpful). If someone has a valid solution for this problem I would be extremely grateful to read it.

I'm pretty much stuck here and I want to change the viewdistance so bad .. 1,6km (if youre lucky) is a bad joke IMO.

Thanks

View distance is limited to something a bit over 1km (can't remember the exact amount) to save the stress on servers. Whatever settings you try you won't be able to increase this. Having siad that there may be a modder somewhere that works out how to increase it at some point although there will be a performance hit.

I think the server can handle 3km instead of 1,6km its not like I want to turn it all the way up to 10km

If those settings wont work, what settings or mods will work?
