the video at some point shows how distance significantly reduces the angular size of an object to half, although when it was put at a curve with a greater distance estimated by a curve calculator , the top of the object was still visible by few millimeters (positive or minus few millimeters was expected, but not to be hidden with twice its original size ).
i tested 3 curvature calculators and non of them seem to account for the tilt of too high objects over huge distances, such curvature calculator was needed due to the test being done on a small curve with distances representing massive portion of it comparing to any earth curvature test, the link here is for an image that explains the test, a distance of 1/4 earth circumference and a height of 2638.95 km for observer and target.

i think this experiment could be still done with any curvature calculator (which i didnt even try) and the error will be still minor comparing to the claim of how perspective should affect the output.
