In game is using Level of Detail (LOD) method, when main object have a worse version; this low quality object you see only on far distance from main object (for better performance). In HRT for better quality of graphics are replaced not only textures of main objects, but and textures of LODs (we will say LODs in meaning «LQ versions of objects»).

You can see, how look improved LODs on screenshots from LAn section of Los Santos. These are screenshots from map editor and I enabled displaying only LODs.

Improved LODs with active using of MIP mapping (another feature of the mod) makes really better draw distance in the game!
