Any way to change LODs distance?

This is not a real technical problem here. Just the inquiry:)

After buying x4:Foundation I quickly fell in the nostalgia lane and went to the X3 (and 2 and 1 even:)).
X3 is still going strong in terms of graphics but there is one thing that kinda bothers me (well 2 but 2nd is unavailable benchmark run I watched hundred times and still in love with it).

I noticed that the distance when stations change to more detailed models is quite short. And (perhaps that's connected) they get proper shadows also in close distances. So while flying shape and lighting changing is quite noticeable.

Is there a way, a dirty registry or other hack to set close LOD further away?
In X3AP there is VideoViewDistance registry entry, but I'm not bothered by just distance.

I think so many years after release we can put our current hardware to the real test, and enjoy even more beautiful X3 universe.
