Object Viewing Distance - LOD

[McclaudEagle]

Hi all.

 

I'm in need of some help regarding making objects such as tents and radio towers show up from a long distance away. When you're in the game, you look around and you can see many radio towers that are miles away, however, the one I placed the in GECK as a test disappears about 200 or so meters away.

 

I heard that it's something to do with the LOD, but I'm not totally sure, especially after a disaster I had when modding Fallout 3. The disaster went a little like this:

 

I flattened all of the terrain in the Mall in D.C and covered it in grass. I then removed all or most of the trees and debris. I went in game, and the distance was very low, so I decided to change that. I went back into the GECK, clicked on World LOD and generated new landscape, tree and object LOD's. The end result was a complete failure. The Mall had returned to normal but the trenches were filled with low res textures.

 

Now, my understanding is that I must have done something wrong. So, I am here to ask for some help to prevent it from happening again.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Bump.

This is also something that appears when I flatten out large areas of landscape.

Anyone?

I have this problem too :/

 

In the GECK I dug a large hole in the El Dorado Dry Lake and began building a town inside. When I went ingame to test, the hole was filled with low-res terrain, but I could walk through it and get underneath to my town.

Does anyone know how to fix?!?

 

It looks like the low-res terrain is shaped to the terrain above it, but does not refresh when you change the landscape.
