Um, thats Kashan Training I guess? It may be me but the View-disctance on Quingling (The only normal map with chinise AAV on it) is not as high as on Kashan, or atleast for me it never has been a problem to spot it.
Yeah this happened to me on quinling the other day, i tried to take a run at the AAV with hydras in the apache but it didnt render till i was right on top of it.
