Anyone know how to render buildings & players past 1000m ??

[Alex Gunzz]

i am fairly new to arma. i have around 100 hrs on it. like many, i love to snipe. Arma 3 is basically the best game to realisticly snipe people from long ranges. Ive noticed that i have been sniped before from over 1000m, and sometimes over 2000m by enemy players. They are using normal sniper rifles like the .408 or 12.7 sniper. But when i try to snipe aroun 1300m (1.3k), i cant render anything. ive tested it, and i CANNOT see anything past about 960m. I have read and everyone sys turn your distance slider (whatever its called.) to the right as far as it will go. and set your objects quality to ultra. i have tried everything and the slider thing did work. because before, i could only see to around 800m. But i wanna be able to snipe from at least 1.3k or so, but just cant see ANYTHING!!! i can see up to 960m. After that is all fog (or whatever youd call the bluish hue that appears to be fog). can anyone help? why can some see and snipe me from 1000m nad 2000m with sniper rifles? or is it a glitch? ive never been sniped in between 1000m - 2000m. only from 1000m or 2000m. PLEASE HELP!

View distance = distance of terrain shown
Object distance = distance of objects shown

So if you want to hit something on 2000m, turn view and object distance to 2000

you can turn it all the way up to 12,000. which is what mine is set at. and i can only see to 950m

Does it happen in MP or SP as well? If it's in MP then it's because the server dictates the max view distance (although some scripts allow players to change this).

havent tried in singleplayer. i dont play it. idk if i get sniped from that distance but i cant see that distance myself, then its just me i guess right?!
also, when im in a helicopter or on an atv, i can see from over 2kilometers. and as soon as i get off i can only see 950m. anything i can do in the files to change this? it isnt the weather bc i play on 24/7 day and it happens on all servers (same servers ive gotten sniped from 1000m-2000m).

Sounds like a server script. Some have it as a scroll option at the arsenal, some have it as a player menu. It sounds like you're playing KOTH, which has it as a player menu. Just ask ingame and someone should answer you.

In settings:
View distance = distance of terrain shown
Object distance = distance of objects shown

The Object quality or seomthing like that, the higher this setting is, the more objects will be drawn. (so say you have it on low, and view distance is 5 km, it will only draw items say... to 800m or so).

Also, you can google this, go into the arma 3 folder in my documents as i recall(or just arma 3 folder), and you can manually change the amount of objects that are drawn(seen) at once. Should be an .ini file or something liek that.

Also, some servers limit the view ditance, say KOTH, you can change view distance, using server made command.
