Anyway to increase Object fade distance?

[SilvuR]

Is there anyway to increase the Object fadeout distance with the BF2 engine? What I'm talking about (and anybody who plays Sniper should know what I mean) is while having a person scoped up at long ranges, there is a certain range that a soldier will suddenley just vanish. My personal fadeout range is exactly 228 meters, but I know several people with more powerful computers than mine who are able to see things out to 250 meters!

This fadeout distance is also assosciated with what how powerful your view magnification is. When unzoomed I can usually see enemy soldiers out to about 50 meters or so, but if I use the sight on the M4 I can see out to about 100 meters. The Dragunov/SPR scopes give me about 180-200 and the M24 gives me my max view of 228. Is this completely hardware dependent (bummer) or is there some kind of setting that can be changed in the BF2 configs or by the devs themselves? Thanks.
