* 7 LoD levels - most detailed is 6, shown at closest range. Least detailed is 0, shown at long range. LoD 0 tiles with Scotland scenery are 1x1 degree, or approx 111 km x 111 km at the equator. | * 7 LoD levels - most detailed is 6, shown at closest range. Least detailed is 0, shown at long range.

* Scenery is divided into chunks called tiles. As view distance increases, tiles with a LoD level are replaced by tiles with the next lowest LoD level. e.g. Four LoD 6 tiles are replaced by one LoD 5 tile. Four LoD 5 tiles are replaced by one LoD 4 tile. As view gets closer the reverse happens. One LoD 2 tile is replaced by four LoD 3 tiles. | * Scenery is divided into chunks called tiles.

* Detail range - The LoD level | * Detail range - The LoD level below which each type of feature is not visible. e.g. setting vegetation to LoD 3 means vegetation is shown for LoD 3/4/5/6 and not shown for tiles with LoD 0/1/2. | ||
* Minimum line feature width (line features are things like roads or rivers) - for every LoD level, the width in meters below which a line feature is not shown. e.g. setting LoD level four to 30 meters means rivers or roads that are narrower than 30 meters are not shown for level four tiles. The minimum widths should stay the same or decrease when going down a LoD level. | * Minimum line feature width (line features are things like roads or rivers) - for every LoD level, the width in meters below which a line feature is not shown. e.g. setting LoD level four to 30 meters means rivers or roads that are narrower than 30 meters are not shown for level four tiles.

* Minimum area feature width (area features are things like lakes) - similar to minimum line feature width, but for area in square meters. Setting LoD to 100 square meters means lakes of size 99 square meters or 40 square meters will not show for LoD level 3 tiles. | * Minimum area feature width (area features are things like lakes) - similar to minimum line feature width, but for area in square meters.
