friendlyTag=1 on server doesn't work as expected

Description

Currently in the documentation here:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Difficulty_Menu#Super_AI

I see there are some general fade distance parameters:
fadeDistanceStart = 40.0;
fadeDistanceSpan = 10.0;
in the data_f.pbo that have impact on friendlyTag parameter in the game.

Hovewer there is a lack of them for the the server.
I have in some_profile.Arma3Profile file for a server
friendlyTag=1
in

class DifficultyPresets
{
	class CustomDifficulty
	{
		class Options
		{  }
        }
}

Anyway it seems to have limitation to about 100 meters which is way to much.
Additionally I see AI tags through terrains obstacles or buildings.
Additionally it would be extremely good to have impact on fadeDistanceStart and fadeDistanceSpan in server config file.

Regards.

Hello.

When launching the mission did you choose Server Difficulty Preset to be Custom?

Hello Wulf.

When I am logged to server I see in mission choose screen something like

Difficulty: Custom (forced)

(or similar - I don't remember exactly).
Then I suppose answer is "yes".

Additionaly I can say that fadeDistanceSpan seems to be really about 10 meters.
But fadeDistanceStart as I wrote earlier is about 100 meters and I can see tags through objects (even on the distance 100 meters).

I tested it with your difficulty config and it works I do not see friendly tags.

PS. I was wrong. Buildings block tags. Only terrain don't.
