Add an Ultra level to the mesh detail sliders in Preferences > Graphics > Advanced: Terrain, Trees, Objects, Flexiprims.

These are continuous LOD-factor sliders (RenderTerrainLODFactor, RenderTreeLODFactor, RenderVolumeLODFactor, RenderFlexTimeFactor) labelled Low/Mid/High by range. Ultra extends each slider's range to 2x the current top factor (e.g. Objects 4 -> 8, Terrain 2 -> 4), and shows "Ultra" in the label text above the old max.

Scope:

Raise slider max_val (floater_preferences_graphics_advanced.xml, and any other panels exposing the same sliders, e.g. panel_performance_preferences.xml).
Raise any clamps on the backing values (e.g. MAX_LOD_FACTOR for LLVOVolume::sLODFactor, settings sanity ranges, terrain patch LOD limits) so the extended values actually take effect, on both the LL path and the VK clean pipeline's LOD selection.
Label text: values above the previous max read "Ultra".
Check graphics presets and the Ultra graphics quality level (featuretable) and decide whether they should use the new top value.

Add an **Ultra** level to the mesh detail sliders in Preferences > Graphics > Advanced: Terrain, Trees, Objects, Flexiprims. These are continuous LOD-factor sliders (`RenderTerrainLODFactor`, `RenderTreeLODFactor`, `RenderVolumeLODFactor`, `RenderFlexTimeFactor`) labelled Low/Mid/High by range. Ultra extends each slider's range to **2x the current top factor** (e.g. Objects 4 -> 8, Terrain 2 -> 4), and shows "Ultra" in the label text above the old max. Scope: - Raise slider `max_val` (`floater_preferences_graphics_advanced.xml`, and any other panels exposing the same sliders, e.g. `panel_performance_preferences.xml`). - Raise any clamps on the backing values (e.g. `MAX_LOD_FACTOR` for `LLVOVolume::sLODFactor`, settings sanity ranges, terrain patch LOD limits) so the extended values actually take effect, on both the LL path and the VK clean pipeline's LOD selection. - Label text: values above the previous max read "Ultra". - Check graphics presets and the Ultra graphics quality level (featuretable) and decide whether they should use the new top value.

Done in f14d2010d8 (mesh detail sliders have an Ultra level; label logic in llfloaterpreferencesgraphicsadvanced.cpp). Shipped in the 1.0.0 betas. Closing.
