Description

Distant Object Enhancement is a visual enhancement mod that makes objects realistically visible over large distances.

BASIC FEATURES

Flare effects for planets and nearby satellites, properly calculated by size, distances, phase angle, etc.
Flare effects are colored for each planet, which makes for easy identification.
On-rails vessels up to 750km away are visually rendered (no intensive physics calculations necessary)
Background stars dim when looking at the bright surface of a nearby planet, just like in real life!
If you have blizzy78's Toolbar plugin, a settings window is available with several options to improve performance or tweak visuals.
Full compatibility with custom planet mods -- with flare color definitions included for Real Solar System, PlanetFactory, and Alternis Kerbol.

Installation

Detailed installation instructions are now on its own file (see the In a Hurry section) and on the distribution file.
