Notes

Ceeeb
In OFP v1.96, view distance also defines the maximum distance between a unit and any other unit they can know about. Higher view distance will involve more AI simulation cycles for every unit, which causes low performance.
galzohar
I tested the above and it seems to apply in Arma 2 as well. AI at a bit above 500m would stop engaging when I lowered the view distance down to 500m and re-engaged when I increased it back.
DesertEagle
In ArmA 2 viewDistance can be set up to 15 km with this command ( while from interface only 10 km )
