I have another noob question:

How do I set the "camera distance" (not sure if that's the problem, but wasn't able to take a screenshot in the built game, so I'll describe it)...

I want to build a Game with a "isometric" view (a 3D View, but with a fixed camera angle at 45 degrees).... I want to be able to zoom out, as it is an RTS Style game, but wehnever I did that, the atmospheric horizon blocked the view to the far ends of the screen. So I took away the atmospheric horizon... now I have a hard edge, where the Terrain is not visible anymore, and anything behind it is black. I assume this is some kind of "camera distance" to limit the field of view, but as I will have a fixed angle, I don't need that functionality. How can I turn it off?

paste the code you have right now

you can set the view distance:

D.viewRange(300);

Mardok i don't think is he asking for that :/

The point was that the world disappears after the camera is set to far... the camera was already working in this case ...

setting the viewRange did the trick...

by the way, I'm amazed that zooming out doesn't affect the Framerate negatively due to more Terrain Features being visible... thats a pleasant surprise after other engines having had this negative effect.

Thanks for the help
