You mean like if your really high that you can't see the ground anymore?

Or do you mean the weird glitch that when your on top of a level some times the ground under you disappears?

First can probably be fixed by making the line of sight configurable. The second is probably cause no VIS was calculated for that altitude. Doubt we can fix that and we don't really have too as your not suposed to be able to get there.

How bout a console command to change render distance (Line of sight) and another to enable/disable VIS calculations.

VIS calculations are done in LevelEdit and you can't disable them. And the problem with line of Sight is that if it gets too big stuff starts getting rendered wrong.

Things probably get rendered incorrectly because you need to set the LOD and rendering distances in different parts of the code as well.

No, it has to do with lack of precision in the depth buffer when the difference between possible values is large.
