Dynamic View Distance

Description
Dynamic View Distance uses the player's altitude and custom settings to determine terrain view distance. Allowing for a seamless transition from default view distance at ground level to the entire map at high altitudes.

Demonstration:

This mod has no affect on performance at ground level but as you might expect, performance decreases with altitude over the Dynamic View Distance starting altitude (default 500m). Users can cap the view distance and max altitude to counter this but view distance cannot increase in arma without decreasing framerate. Please only use this mod if you can afford or are prepared to lose performance at high altitudes in order to enjoy the spectacular view.

Dynamic View Distance is also compatible with CH View Distance.

Please share any issues/suggestions.

Does this have any conflicts with dynamic performance system by Ruca? I'm not sure but I think it might, as I accidentally had this one and maybe uh... two or more other mods affecting vd

I thought this would've made planes actually usable at their intended altitudes, but this mod just makes the problem of the fog worse, since it thinks that it should just turn off my view distance entirely at 600m altitude. Base game just fades it out at like 800, but this just makes it worse.

This would be good but the constraints on the max / min values forces it to just be 'off' - like I want to be 4.5km at sea level but 10km up a 500m hill, (roughly realistic) its just not possible given the range of values you have to use in this mod.

Is it possible to set maximum altitude lower than 5km?

@snowy turn on the base distance and then set it to 3k, you can see MORE than enough and it hardly effects FPS, im running on a 1660 super if that gives any info, nothing hot but i can run an average 30-40 frames even in a gun fight in a city.

word of advice to anyone who uses this mod, it makes antistasi run at like 20 fps permanently because when you open up the garage it renders a bunch of the map.
