Hi, Has anyone come across this. When in external view on the Cessna 172 when viewed at a certain distance all internal items like the Pilot / Passenger along with items like the compass, seat detail disappear, but when you zoom back in they reappear. This seems to be linked to the default external view settings. Is there any way I can reset the external view to a bit close view?
I will post some images later

I think @Timm150 just means the 3D model art, so the title of this topic is not really what they are asking?
Those things disappear at distance due to LOD (level of detail) built into the model. It’s to make sure performance doesn’t suffer by rendering all those smaller details if you were to view lots of aircraft at a medium distance (for example) at the same time.
Maybe turning up your LODS would help (Object LOD probably) but it depends on the aircraft. The 172 might be configured to work with the in-game LOD values, as it’s a default aircraft but I think it won’t make a difference.
I’m pretty sure this requires a change in the plane model files.
I remember a similar issue where at certain zoom levels the G1000’s in a plane would show as pink. I think it was the SWS Kodiak. A later update fixed that.
