Really.

It even has the effect of making ships go "over" the horizon so that at long range all you can see is the smoke, and without making the ships look like they got sawn in half. TBH, this bit was an unexpected bonus and partly luck.

Thank Hitman for the idea. He suggested a load of ideas I'd previously disregarded, but when I rethunk them (after telling him "no, no, that won't work" ) I realised that a halfway house between what he said and what I tried in the last "Horizon Extension" tweak might work. And it did!

Now, this version does still hit framerates (in order to prevent certain problems that would otherwise occur) but this FPS hit is not even in the same ballpark as the last one. The tweak is pretty close to the current version of OLC 'Gold' in terms of performance.
