Yes it's another senior moment with LOD.

The answers to these are somewhere, but are they buried?

LOD mesh files from TES4LL: Are the actual generated files .nifs or far.nifs?

ugriddistantcount:

Is this value the max number of cells N E S W? Does a value like 10 this impact all VWD and LODs? Vanilla? Modded?

fLODQuadMinLoadDistance:

From Wikidot, "LODs are built on the basis of 'quadrants' (quads) of four adjoining blocks of 32x32 cells" How are these arranged? Around a centre block of 32 X 32 where the object is located? Does fLODQuadMinLoadDistance impact VWDs in RAEVWD for example?

bDisplayLODBuildings:

Can anyone confirm this oddity with RAEVWD enabled?

Take the view over to Fort Homestead from the IC Waterfront.

With bDisplayLODBuildings=1, it's not visible, but with bDisplayLODBuildings=0 lol it's there.

Any theories?
