    Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the view distance for cars? I have some big cars that unfortunately disappear if they are more than 2 km from the camera. It would be nice to see them as just a dot on the horizon...

    It's not possible to do that.
    It's set to a specific value for performance reasons (not much reason to render a vehicle that is KM away from you)

    I assume it's changeable because mod planes such as B-25 Mitchell and Me262 have a very long visibility, up to many kilometers. Here's a perspective:

    Default visibility visualized:

    Plane visibility visualized:

    Anyway, the reason why someone (me) would like to change visibility is targeting and shooting AI cars with planes and helicopters

    That's a shame. When chasing AI cars over large expansive open maps like desert highway it's easy to lose them once they disappear. Maybe further down the line you guys will introduce some level-of-detail models so performance impact will be minimized?
