Anyone know what this setting does?

This would be the distance that icons appear for planes that are under the radar deck.

Double check to see if it works on Tanks as well.  Might be able to limit when you see them, but I haven't personally checked to see if it works correctly yet.

I'm pretty sure it does. I usually spawn a couple of custom arenas a week, and have had ndisles with the central island for GV-only fights. I enabled the WWI planes from the vbases to spot (or fight if they want).  I had this flag set to 4500 (1.5k) and IIRC, the GV icons didn't show until 1.5k; just like the low-flying planes.

I tried to test this offline with drones, but that particular setting doesn't work on drones either GV or AC.

I just tested it with a squaddie in a custom arena online. It works as I described.

Nice job Dot, thanks for confirming.
