How can the view distance on platforms be set to what it is in X-Rebirth vanilla?

[dertien]

This forum is full of modders who know their way around the X games.

I would like to know if one of those modders could point me in the right direction (xml file) to increase the visual distance when standing on platforms (and thus also the Capital Ship Bridge mod by Litauen) ?

Ordering your capship to attack a certain target leaves you staring at a beautiful skybox background and its planets, but the only action that is visible is anything that is happening within 100 meters of the 'viewbubble' you are standing in; while as in X-Rebirth this is not an issue. Anything ship, station or effects wise is not shown, and thus battles cannot be directed from the capital ship bridge.

I have tried changing the

Code: Select all

<viewdistance>5.00</viewdistance>

to a different number of values in the config.xml file residing in the documents section of X-Rebirth, but this has no effect. Is it hardcoded into X-Rebirth.exe? Or is there a setting somewhere that we can enjoy the same views that we have in X-Rebirth also in X-Rebirth VR.

Would be great to have this fixed.
Thank you.
