General visibility

Is it possible to increase the general visibility in the sim to include distant mountains*? Also, will George be able to get the sim to render more distant vegetation in its natural colour like in real life instead of the darker faded rendering that exists now?

*Yes, I know DR have this as a payware addon, but there shouldn't be a law against being it a feature in MSTSbin if George wants to implement it

Distant Mountains are visible if they:

A) have been created and their files are in the LO_TILES fiolder,
B) the MSTS Options advanced display sliders are maxed and the "Distant Mountains" box has been ticked and
C) the route's *.trk file has a Mountains ( 00000001 ) line in it.

The rendering of objects and vegetation is created by their shape files and the graphics card used, as well as other settings in ENVFILES and other files, George can do nothing about !
