Well, it seems that we will have visual sight increased soon.
- Clip distance is changeable now, I found it
- Clipping artifacts (Z-buffer fighting) have been reduced a lot

Just one thing remains: change the sky dome size. This is a hemi-sphere that cuts the horizon, and it does at 10 km from camera position. The problem is that every object behind the dome is not visible (but it is drawn).

One question: what is the visual range at sea in a clear day? Or better: what distance should I put to the camera sight to be coordinated with the AI sensors? If all goes as well as now, we could view ship smoke at 20 km (very very far, but we could see it), then the ship at about 10 km, like now.
