Make a new shortcut to the executeable on your desktop.
Right-clik-> properties. In the "Target"-line put a "-g5" at the end of it (no " ")
Start AF with new shortcut, and you're now able to move terrain-sliders above 5. Try 13 or somth - depending on system

If your comp. can handle it, try putting that terrain-slider around 25 or so.
Then you won't have any terrain "pop-up" even at high alt wink

I, however, have not got it. :-/ Could anyone lend a hand?
"C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\FalconAF.exe-g5" does not work, nor does ..AF.exe"-g5, or any combination I've thought of so far. Any help would be appreciated!

You must make a new shortcut. The original can not be edited apparently.

You can edit it, you need to put the parameter (-g5) outside the quotation marks, and as with any command line parameter, leave a space before it.

I tried to do that because of info in this thread and it would not work for me.

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2880212/F4_AF_and_GTX_260_settings.html#Post2880212

When I made a new shortcut, I had no problem at all.
