Try setting RenderUseFarClip to FALSE in your debug settings.  You could 
additionally stretch your draw distance further by setting RenderFarClip to 
a higher number, such as 2048.  This will have the effect of rendering 
objects further from the camera at the cost of cpu and memory.  There are a 
number of level-of-detail settings that can be altered to render the entire 
scene in higher detail, beginning with the word Render.  These are fun to 
mess with but all take a toll on your cpu when set to higher values.
