Not sure, but I guess not. Only if the epsilon value is different in 
both versions. An expert should know. However, the problem would not 
really go away. And consider: is it really necessary to have the same 
level of detail in the foreground as in a quarter circumference away 
(for instance) along the Ringworld? Of course not. And at ground level 
the Ringworld is virtually flat too. I attach a test image from back in 
2005 when I was working on these issues. It does not show the epsilon 
issue as the camera is high enough above the ground however.
