The lights visibility range is still much lower as evident. After few miles away, the sepia mask effect comes into place for the building/city lights. Still has that lit ground effect at distance.
I think they have only bumped up the main street lights visibility range, thats why only the main street lights now are visible from far distances and not the building/city lights.
They should increase the building/city lights draw distance also to realistic distances and remove that horrible sepia layer effect. Infact, that is the primary issue for which the “Terrain emits light” thread was created.
