 And its solved, now they all file-sort perfectly in ordered fashion :)
+====== Clutter ======
+It's generally a good idea to use a noDetailDistance value around the same or just a little higher than your "Base Texture Layer".
+So your ground textures will fade out along with their "local ground level mco", just roughly at the same point as the satellite layer is taking over and themiddle_mco is kicking in.
+And you can further disguise the transition point by having the clutter distance go out beyond that a fair bit say 100 > 125 meters is a decent visual compromise that isn't too FPS heavy.
+====== Large Satellite Images ======
+Miro said that: when I was working on Seattle map for TKOH 60x60km I had to split to 4x4 set(15360x15360 each)
+I used Global Mapper back then, but I'm almost certain that GDAL utility called gdal_translate.exe can do it as well

+you need to use
+<code>
+-srcwin xoff yoff xsize ysize
+-of format
+-outsize xsize[%] ysize[%]
