canvasClearColor

Any ideas on how to get rid of the canvas from appearing when at high altitudes? I keep getting a solid line across the screen the same color as the canvas. Ruins the view of the mountains:)

I have tried the following resources but none take care of the problem.

Finally found a solution if anyone is interested. Changing the visibleDistance will eliminate this. The higher you go from the terrain the higher the distance needs to be set.

Hopefuly this value can be changed dynamically during runtime.(still need to try this) Performance might become a issue however with a fully populated level.

Hows it showing with the z-offset hack in place ?

I have not actually tried the two in combination yet. I ran into another rodeblock. It looks like at high altitudes the lighting is way off. Particles also look horrible(gun shots).

It is starting to look like this engine was not ment for any type of flight simulator.
