Terrain Detail Maxed at "Normal"

[CANADAVE 14]

I was playing a friends load of armed assault to try it out (1.04?) on my vista x64 machine to try it out. Everything was great so I bought a digital download version.

Now - updated to 1.14 for some reason I can't adjust the terrain detail to above "normal". I was running high on the 1.04 install and everything was smooth as glass. Now I have degraded visuals.

Any ideas why my new install seems to be capped?

I have a core 2 2.26Ghz 3GB RAM w/ 9800GTS 512Mb

If you set the view distance to an high setting, that will have an impact to the possible terrain detail. Try to lower it and see what happens.

Yeah that was it. I am using 10km view distance and that limites to Normal. 7KM is high, 3.5 KM very high or there abouts. I tried a bunch of different comparisons in a chopper... not much perceivable difference between Normal and very high... so I'm keeping the 10KM view distance (7KM not bad... but the more the merrier!

Thanks!!
