Increasing detail view

Hey guys,

several years have passed since i played GP4 and since its Christmas/New Year again the nostalgia kicks in. So i've been playing (read: modding) GP4 again and stumbled on an old problem.
I've included a picture to make sure you can understand the problem (its the raindetail line right at the top of the arrow). When it rains and im racing i can see the track updating itself right in front of me. Is there any possible way to increase this distance? I think it has something to do with the distance of the trackdetail. Does anyone know how to solve this inssue?
Also, since it's been a long time, any new modding sites on the radar?

Well, on my side, I often wondered if we could make this distance longuer but I never heard about someone with a solution...

Thanks and happy new year to you too (even if it's a bit early)

So maybe for interested people;

inside gp4\MAPS\RESOURCES

BESTDRK5.JAM -> Texture showing best line
DPRD6.JAM -> Textures showing rain overlay (distant)
TARGREY3.JAM -> Textures showing rain overlay (close)

So i've been playing around with the textures but I can only modify the TARGREY3.JAM,
which is the file that you can see spawning in at the red arrow (first post). I can't change resolutions or any other properties with JAM editors I found.
I can make it transparant leaving me with a pixelated wet track surface, but removing the visible line popping in.
If we could give these files a bigger resolution this would remove the pixel-effect on the rain texture overlays.
So that made me wonder, are there any fully working JAM editors for GP4 in here?
I feel that we can really improve overall tarmac display quality.
