Horizons Almost a bug: some settlements not visible in supercruise

[vallor]

You know, it would be a lot more fun searching an entire planet for a settlement if _all_ settlements were visible at a reasonable distance in supercruise.

Video illustrates the problem. Passing over the site in supercruise, settlement is not visible. Drop out, turn around, there it is, plain as day.

Let's make this game more fun.

Yes, I concur.

I noticed this when finding and exploring the Thargoid complexes. When leaving I would afterburn straight up looking behind me and as soon as I supercruise, the surface features are replaced with generic planet features for that type of planet even though I'm basically at the same altitude. This is a programming shortcut and one that needs to be corrected because it destroys any feeling of realism that the DEVs try so hard to project. It should be a high priority on the next release if they want to move forward with atmospheric planetary landings.
