Increase LOD Distance

Hey guys ive played all the GTA series ever since the first GTA came out... Ive had SA fora while but ive only just got back into it.

I have a killer PC, ive Maxed out the Draw Distance with that mod 10X draw, but i would like to know is there a way of increasing the LOD distance. Its just that walking down the street the cars are just blocks in the distance until there like a street away. I want to max out that aswell.

To give you a perspective of my PC it can play Crysis on Very High with 40fps constant.

What does LOD stand for?

 

And also, if you've maxed out the in-game draw distance and are using the 10x mod too, there's nothing more you can do that will affect the draw distance any further.

LOD stands for Level of Detail. LOD is the level of detail you can see in each render stage. Eg. Background buildings in the city will use Low-Res Textures and poly. But when your up close they use High-Res textures and high poly count. Im looking for a way to tweak it so the buildings, cars, and people are all using high res at a further distance. This would make the 10X draw distance much more affective as when i can see the city from a distance a way some buildings wont appear until im closer.

 

Im also looking for a way to increase the games Object render distance, like vegetation, they just pop out of no where even when im walking, i would like to increase it so that the vegetation appears in the horizon.

i think in the effects.fxp file there is a LOD start/end distance. Open that with notepad and go down the bottom. fiddle around with those two settings until you get one you like

Thanks for that but there are like 100 different LOD settings in this fxp file are you sure that the bottom LOD controls overall detail.

I hope you're making backups.
