Yup. I have set the material settings differently with the intent to soften the glow with distance. The problem is that I am not sure what to set them too. Right now I am adjusting the Diffuse and Ambiance for Specularity and Trans I am leaving them defaulted at 0.

I have no idea if it'll help, but this is the texture from the distant board: diffuse on the left, alpha ( which controls AddATex glow ) on the right. I think the top half is the daytime texture and perhaps the far distant night texture though ( I can't load max up right now to check ).

Interesting. I am not sure if I can control the alpha as a setting for the component. I will need to look into that. I could break out each LOD as its own texture and adjust the alpha there, but its seem a heavy handed approach.
