Viewport Problem...

[FY]

First make sure viewport clipping is disabled (rightclick on viewportlabel/ Viewport clipping). If it is off then your objects are possibly too big or too small. You can fix this by changing the units to metric or us standart and scaling your scene to a reasonable value. The other solution is to change the FOV of your perspective view (rightclick viewport label/ confige/ rendering method/ perspective user view)

Under properties in the viewport you can enable a sliding bar that'll appear in the viewport, with that you can adjust the distance from the camera that objects are culled.

or depending on your needs swith to USER view. it's an ortho view and doesn't clip.

Tried, it turned out it didnt like the huge Plane I'd made as the ground in the scene, I scaled it down, and all is now fine, but it leaves me with another dillema now :)
How would I create an absolute horizon in all directions (like the ground plane option in Brazil, which extends basically forever in all directions?

You can't, but you can make shadows appear against the background by applying a matte/shadow material to a smaller groundplane, and turning on "Recieve Shadows" in the material properties. Looks better than an infinite ground plane IMO.

If you are using the plane object in Max (and it is advisable) you set it to tile by using the scale amount. Adjust this to cover the area needed which operates at render time :)
