"Ideally" you would have a depth buffer that's linear up close and logarithmic at a distance, but I'm pretty sure OpenGL doesn't provide something like that out of the box.

It doesn't, no. You'd have to use a pixel shader to write a custom depth function, but then you lose the early-depth-test optimization that can avoid running the shader for pixels that are obscured by already-rendered pixels. But the reversed fp trick works with not only the early-depth-test optimization, since the depth value is still calculated before running the shader, but it also works with the standard fixed-function pipeline.

Looks really nice in 21:9 with 100 FOV :D

I still had my original "distant land" setting in my cfg file from before osg. I was scratching my head when it wasn't working for me since in the new update. Then I noticed someone post here that the setting needed to be "distant terrain". Now it works but when this gets into a stable release you might want to mention the change so people will know to go into the cfg file and change it.

If I forget to do that in the release announcement please remind me!

I'll keep an eye out for it. Is Distant Terrain coming in 0.42 or 0.43 stable?

Huh. It looks like 0.43? Can someone correct me if I am wrong?
