5. remove ZRange key definitions from the configuration file to have them fall back to their

default "disabled"

6. remove EnableLogging=1, EnableDepthTuningHelp=1 (and optionally DynamicZtoD=0) from

the configuration file

Note: Although the inverse projection matrix gives a 100% perspectively correct representation, it

may not give the best possible depth effect for certain applications. For example a lot of racing

simulators put the player's view close to the surface of the road. In these games the player can see

nearby objects of less than a centimeter in size as well as faraway objects tens or hundreds of meters

long. Evenly distributing the depth that the display can show over the rendered scene would cause the

nearby part of the road, which covers a large part of the screen, to have no noticeable variation in

depth. In this case it is often better to set DynamicZtoD to 0 and tune FarNearRatio to sacrifice some

of the perspective correctness in exchange for a noticeable depth gradient in all parts of the scene.
