Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-227724)

Description

Nanite foliage static meshes do not respect the "foliage.MaxEndCullDistance" console variable setting.

This was brought up in a UDN: [Link Removed]

Steps to Reproduce

Create a Nanite static mesh foliage asset with no cull distance and paint it into a level.
Set `foliage.MaxEndCullDistance` to 1000 units
Notice the foliage meshes do not cull based on distance
Notice also that they do, if you disable Nanite on the mesh.
