Distant objects disappear

Distant objects disappear.
Any solution to this problem.
I am using the latest version of OR.

The distance that objects remain in view is set using the Options pages. Like MSTS you need to tune these options to suit your system. It looks like maybe you are using the option to tie viewing distance to FPS. There are other ways available to do this.

Hi Baldwin,
I unticked "Automatically tune settings to keep performance level".
That has cured the problem
I did not think that would cause the problem.

Thanks Geoff.

Ditto and has cured my problem of distant scenery disappearing too.

Thanks, Geoff !

The performance auto-tune is very likely remove distant objects closer than your set view distance if the frame rate is being affected by the number and complexity of objects currently present. When all else fails, it will take the "sledgehammer" approach to try to meet your target frame rate!

Agree regarding the workaround - but the permanent solution is to upgrade the graphics card. I had a serious issue with the disappearing scenery (and low frame rates) when using an old low-end ATI card after upgrading to OR "pre-1.0" (x2194), but it went away (with more than adequate frame rates now, even with a few extra tweaks running) after installing a new nVidea mid-grade card. Win7 Pro desktop. If you're using a laptop, you might not be able to do this of course.

ORTS does that on both my computers, the WIN-7 has a nVidia GTX 560Ti and the WIN-XP SP3 computer a nVidia GT 640.

Here are my Options settings which have fixed that !
