Is there a mod to let my View Distance go farther?

[OverKill]

Meaning only the environment of course (this would only require a good graphics card).

I mean my graphics can go so much higher. I want to see stuff farther away and can't even with the max settings. All I ask is if there's a mod that lets you increase the view distance or get rid of more of that stupid fog.

Well, there is a command called SetFarclip() that allows an addon (or macro) to set your terrain viewing distance. It accepts values from 177 to 777. But you can try to push it further.

Type this in a chatbox:
/script SetFarClip(800)

if that works, increase the number untill it no longer works...

Would that work for making it draw Players & Npc's at a much further range also.
I find it Annoying that my Dual 7800Gtx Rig is like capped at similar Quality and clip plane limitations as someone with say a single 6600 when it is capable of handling a Hell of a lot more :( .

Yes but with a dual 7800gtx u can play wow @ 1600x1200 with all settings on max and FSAAx4, try that on a 6600 :P

I Tried that commmand , all it does is bring up an Error Window , NOT change the clip plane at all , anyone know a means that works to increase the clip plane ?

You probably can't - the game would have to have too much data loaded, memory (especially video memory) is finite after all. :p

ok heres the main thing with the veiw distance. any distance beyond the max wont stick when you go into a city/building (values do a re-set) so the setting the max distance manually only stays when you have no obsticles to auto-reset it. i dont know however how itd react with players and npcs.
