just wanted to add some stuff:

in your config you should set r_usemaxvisdist 0 to get maximum view distance and details and hence avoid that objects pop up.

<digibob> you know what that value is meant to do?
<uv-hannes-`> the sample is AA
<uv-hannes-`> that com_avidemosamples
<digibob> it isn't real AA
<uv-hannes-`> ah, but?
<digibob> it takes a screenshot of the game X times, in the width/height specified
<digibob> then samples them all together back down to the size you asked for
<digibob> which is kinda like AA, but not really
<uv-hannes-`> so the "real" AA comes from image_aa and r_multisamples (not sure about the excat cvars)
<uv-hannes-`> *and AF
<digibob> sure
