Improving view distance, possible?!

[Seb]

Well, the topic title says all,

I'd like to increase the view distance in seaview to see the ship's rigging and crew from a longer distance, and in the same way, to have a greater area of properly waving sea...

I was wondering if it can be done by changing values in the game files, or if it only depends of the graphic card? (because i've already changed and set my drivers for that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

right\left clicking with your mouse or touchpad while on sea map can increase or decrease the distance, but only at a certain extent.

AoP had the same problem with the sea. That was one of the things that was attempting to be fixed with the Supermod, but it never got done. So there is only a limited range centered on your ship that the waves are working out to. and then its flat sea. And if you watch carefully you can see enemy ships vanish behind the waves when they reach that range limit.

REALLY weird to see.

Ok, so i'm fixed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Tough it's too bad :S

Thanks anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I'd like to see the render distance increased on some of the details as well. I was hoping someone had some ideas.

We tried every variable we could find that seemed to deal with range on the wave modelling, but nothing seemed to ever change the range they went out to.

All we could figure out is that it was in a DLL that we couldn't modify at the time.

Now remember, this work I'm talking about was related to AoP, and not PotC. But it should still be pertinent.

Basically you can vary the range you can see the ocean out to, but there is a limit to how far out the wave modelling exists in the game which is based on a radius around your ship.
