Low Draw Distance

Why is the decal distance so low for textures such as grass. Makes the game feel very unrealistic and unpolished. Any way to change this. I've tried world editor but didn't seem to find the proper slider or grass texture to change and I've tried changing a bunch. I'd like to make this distance triple or quadruple what it is. Performance is not a issue for me either.

 

No one?

 

I’d like a solution too, but I think it’s a game limitation. IDK, though.

 

Draw distance rendering is a bit broken since 0.26. https://www.beamng.com/threads/brok...stance-rendering-and-max-slope-setting.88250/

Search for groundcover in SceneTree. Click each one open in Inspector Window and raise the values of:

radius
dissolveRadius
maxElements

The larger the radius, the more you need to increase the max elements to keep the ground cover density the same. That's where it gets expensive.

 

Would this also include the shadows? I'd like the shadows done up as such too.

 

No. Find the map's Scatter Sky object (usually named sunsky in level objects) and scroll to Advanced Lighting settings. Turn the texSize to 2048 and try different values for shadow distance, softness, and fadestart fields. The greater the distance, the crappier the shadows will look upclose. Official defaults are well balanced for driving, so there's not much to improve except the texture size.

Distance 1600 vs 3000 on a big fuel station shadow

3000 vs 400 on a narrow power line shadow

 

Has this draw distance issue been addressed or corrected yet?
