To get an orthographic look, that value should be as small as possible, to minimize the effects of perspective. The default camera in Google Earth has a field of view of 60 degrees. This effectively flattens the terrain while keeping the same imagery that is used for the 3D image. 01 (tools > options > 3D view > terrain > elevation exaggeration).
