Effects (.fx) view distance.

I've got a bit of an aesthetic problem with my map : Effects don't show up at a significant distance. This is especially annoying for the following effect, a very large engine trail for a venator. You have to be within a few world units and looking at the emmiter at the right angle in order to see it.

Any help here would be appreciated.
