         **    This function sets whether view and camera settings such as
         **    field-of-view (FOV) and window size should be taken into account
         **    when determining the zone of a character.
         **
         **    The base zone extents are distance-based, but this approach can
         **    be problematic if the current camera's FOV is very narrow; a
         **    narrow FOV essentially acts like a telephoto lens.  In this case
         **    a character that is far away, and would therefore be rendered
         **    at low resolution, can actually be quite large in the 3D view.
         **
         **    Setting this flag to 1 will cause the FOV to be taken into account
         **    when calculating effective zone extents.
         **
         **    In general zone extents assume that the vertical FOV of the
         **    view is around 40.  Smaller FOVs will scale the thresholds larger
         **    so that zone changes happen further out.  Likewise larger FOVs
         **    will scale the extents smaller; in this case even nearby
