[Increased Draw Distance]
author=Souzooka
description=Slightly increases draw distance for entities/cars

// Some notes:
// I wanted to make it so all entities are visible within the geometry (the fog culling is also nice on cars)
// You can basically increase draw distance very very far, but some oddities occur (road, in particular, is loaded in a strip of 150 chunks,
// a chunk being around 3-5 car lengths, I think, but at a point you can see the existing strip end and a new one loaded in,
// probably visible at a distance of ~400 or so). Cars also only spawn so far in front of the player as well
// (even though they spawn much further than the 100f default), but the real issue with cars is that some effects
// (like the speed lines when near a target line) as actually triggered by those cars being visible so it's very odd
// if that occurs when the player is very very far away.

// Increased geometry distance
// Reduce forced fog-based culling effect on main lanes
// If desired, this can be set to 0, then all objects will be visible simply based on distance checks regardless of distance.
