It would be useful if one could set the visible range for each object. So
one could make huge objects visible from far away while small things like
flowers could be set to a low visibility range like 20m. Every object would
have a default visible range set in the rwx file or wherever.

I like that idea...that way huge towers can be built but high graphic detail
(street posts,newspapers flying etc) could be invisible until you get in
range of them? Great idea.
its how AWI has the Globe thing in awgate set. =\ "just HOW DO THEY DO IT?
Mike? back to you."

AWGate is actually a P1, and all the avatars are little teeenie tiny
miniatures,
so the vis setting of 200 meters is actually really 200 kilometers in scale.

No, it's built into the ground object, there are actually 2 globes, the
rotating one is a normal 60m visibility one, when you go farther away you'll
see a smaller non-rotating one.

Really? I never noticed. I always thought it was the same globe.
