You can't see targets beyond the normal range (with some exceptions). So if you could see something in the distance before you'll still be able to see it. If you couldn't you won't now.

If you keep your draw distance low for FPS then at furthest zoom all you can see in most zones is fog.

That all said its invaluable for keeping an eye out for that damn stealth Fel Reaver in HFP... how anything that big can sneak up on me I'll never know.

Once you have the keys mapped you can it seems zoom in and out even at those big distances, or I can... but then I seem to have broken the auto follow mode for my camera too.

Does anyone know how to access these values from a script/macro? Would be nice to make a scroll bar that sets distance.
