In the map editor and the game, the distance of the camera leads to the fact that the screen fills black.

@Cian This is pretty much what we were talking about last week. Only occurs in the Map Editor due to the ability to vastly enhance the view distance in that mode via options. Very low priority but chat to coders see if we can't increase the cull distance when map editor is set to high view distance.

@Lee I suspect that there will be a negative effect on performance even when not zoomed out if we do so but code will be able to give a definitive answer on Monday.

We have decided that we can fix this and improve our general approach to camera clipping.

The camera far clip plane does now adjust dynamically to zoom out max + camera FoV.
This should solve the problem in all cases and finds the minimum far clip plane that always works.
