Why does the water have this halfway across it?
Why does spring cut off terrain at a distance? 20x20s look like shit with the terrain getting cut off in the distance.
What have I missed.

Smoth, it's getting culled by the renderer cause your camera is at the edge of the map. If you move your camera a lil into the map it should stop doing it. It's annoying, but I'll be damned if I know what causes it.
At least that's what it looks like is happening. I've seen it enough times that I think I know what it is, but tbh there is no way that I could tell for sure, so if I'm wrong, just ignore me :-/

This is a major annoyance, since the fog doesn't do the usual job it's supposed to do (hide map geometry that's being culled for efficiency) and just generally is a pain in the neck. Spring's handling of this stuff is really sub-par, but meh, that's a lower-order problem than the basic fixes to the map rendering system I outlined months ago.
Best setting I found was FogStart=0.3;, which is close to not drawing the fog at all.

Actually the higher the fogstart number is, the further away the fog is drawn. 03 is actually pretty close. Normally I opt for 06 or 07ish.
