Even farther view distance possible?

Is there a hack/tweak that allows you to see view distance even further? actaully, i think the problem is that Arma has some kinda fixed fog, so any view distance number above 2500 doesnt seem to make things view farther.

For me, view distance setting of 2500 and 6000 looks very similar ohter than the HUGE fps impact. So it would be nice if someone can figure out (or BI implements an option) how to alter the fog values.

also, what about farther texture details. does anyone feel that the textures medium-far away looks very "soupy" , kinda like vanilla oblivion, but of course much better already. STill, it would be nice if we can incrase a value to increase the range of using more detailed textures. i beelive this should do something increasing the Mipmapping distance.

Yeah the fog is too thin at high view distances so you can't actually see that far. 10k view distance only lets you see 3.5-4.5 due to fog. You can set the view distance higher. I tried setviewdistance 30000 and it works. You should be able to manually edit the config in your profile folder to get a higher viewdistance
