Would it be possible to increase the distance at which cars/peds respawn?

I hate how every time I go somewhat high up, all the cars despawn and are replaced by "placeholder" cars that can't be blown up or otherwise interacted with. Would there be any way to prevent this from happening?

Search the forum for "spawn distance" to find previous discussions. It is not possible at the moment, but such an option might be added to the engine in the future, during their spare time.

This so called "glitch" is just another way of applying LODs system without straining your rig. I highly doubt it can be removed since its in the engine. This type of LOD application is the strangest one I've ever seen though. Wish Volition had done it the R* way. Theirs is more accurate.
