It’s nice to have the option to have a little bit more control over the view distance. The current implementation is fine if you want to ‘set and forget’, but going back into the menu to change it is a bit cumbersome. (It also makes it difficult to compare the options.)
It would be nice if we could adjust it on the fly using the existing in-game view distance controls, i.e. ideally mousewheel up/down would allow you to move between ‘close’, ‘standard’, and ‘far’ settings. For controller users, the ‘zoom’ option on the action wheel could cycle between the three settings.
That way, we could adjust as needed, and also more easily perceive the difference - it’s hard to tell when there’s a full screen menu in your face.
