It's not really that common that it happens, but I've seen it happen mostly to the Mammoth Tank, and on occasion, the MRLS (like what SSnipe mentioned). I tried the registry change, though I only changed the value from 10000 to 50000, not 50000000, and the Static_LOD_Budget reverted to the default of 10000 after play, wheras the Dynamic_LOD_Budget stayed at the 50000 I set it to. Not sure if that means it'll still do this or not, but I hardly ever notice it.

Try doing it again, my values stayed up after I changed them, although I'm not sure this is doing exactly what we assume it is doing, it DOES work, just not how I would expect. I set them both to 10, not all the models went to crap lod, I think its possible that this might just be modifying what distance that start to load their next LODs at...

yes. 0 makes it allways use lod. and mine were 5000 so it was very close when it was lod, and setting it to a high number it good (if u don't have a crap pc)

The code for LOD budget in normal renegade is hardcoded to clamp the value of the 2 registry keys to the range 100-10000. The slider in the config dialog is hardcoded to use the values 100, 5000 and 10000

Keeping the highest LOD on vehicles and infantry at great distance would be awesome. It might lower your FPS, but it would be a cool option for ppl who want to use it. Certain vehicles look really weird at great distance, like the Artillery, Mammoth Tank, Flame Tank and MRLS.
What's VIS btw? Visual Range? or just Visual? I know LOD = Level of Detail.

VIS hides sections of the map you can't see. Renhelp have more info on it.
I fixed this problem (short-range lod-change) by turning my renegade quality settings up
