It will be real interesting what modders do with this.

Pop-in is really bad in this video. Is that a consequence of the mod, or can you not increase the view distance?

I think its just how the game is made since im pretty sure you see the same kind of pop in when landing normally, but then once your own the ground its not as noticable or when your flying around normally. But since this mod allows you to go close to the ground like as if you where landing i think thats why its more noticable here.

Hopefully a mod will come that will allow you to increase the view distance or something like that.

Ah, pity. I'm usually not all that bothered by pop-in, even at low settings, but this seems particularly extreme. Still, I'll have to keep an eye on the mod scene for this game. There's a lot of potential for improvements.

Maybe I'm wrong, but you peeps are confusing me with this pop-in stuff. Isn't it called "popping"? I don't know that I have heard it called pop-in, so I'm just looking for some clarification. Gosh, honestly this game looks really bad, glad I didn't buy it.

Pretty sure it is "pop-in" because when you get closer it... pops in. Popping would imply it bursts like a bubble :P

Least modders will always make boring games more entertaining

Bahaha, I think I actually answered my own question. I looked it up, and both are terms referring to graphics. "Popping" is a term used when additional texture appears on an object as you get closer, while "Pop-in" is used when objects suddenly pop-in that weren't previously there. So you are using the correct terminology, I didn't realize there was a similar term for each.

Me neither, I'd use pop-in for both. :|
