'''Far Model Item is a way to display models that need to be seen from further away than from maximum allowed view distance of 1500m or need to be visible from certain points from further away than their set view distance.''' <br />There are two types of of items that can be displayed, each behaving a different way: 
*'''Far Model''' = Original usage of the Far Model item and default for the all new Far Model items placed into the map.
*'''Map Items''' - New usage turned on by checking the box "''use map items''".
<br />===General Far Model usage notes:===
*Do not overdo it with the number of models assigned to the Far Model Item, watch the performance.
*Use at most 4-5 Far Model items per sector and not too close to each other.
<br />'''===Far Model - default, when "''use map item''s" is unchecked'''===
*Uses only the Far Model assets.
Usage notes:
 
*You can scale those models in Far Model properties.
*You can set Water Reflection to those models in properties.
*When the Far Model item node are deleted so are the Far model assets added to it!
<br />'''===Map Items - when "use map items" checked'''===
*Can use other items placed in the map:
Usage notes:
 
*You can scale the assigned models normally in their Properties.
*The water reflection of the assigned item is decided by their own Properties when outside the far item area boundary and by the Far Model item properties when inside the boundary.
*When Far Model item node is deleted the assigned map items are NOT deleted!
