Peek-a-boo Solars
-
I was having some issues similar to a post I’d read recently (pretty sure it was here but damned if I can find it). Currently, I’m working on a rather large scale base and had started out with the type = STATION. When I’d go in-game to check out updates, I had the same problem as mentioned - the structure was viewable only within about a 2 degree arc. Changing the type to PLANET fixed this, but had the downside of not being dockable so… not an option. Messing with the “solar_radius” value turned out to be the solution. I was paying attention to the distance while attempting to remedy another problem and only when the proper radius fully engulfed the structure did the above vanishing act … vanish itself. It may be that only the Root must be within the radius, but mine is near its maximum extent anyways, so that’s what worked for me.
So for whomever was having the issue, try expanding the radius and testing that out.
Revision- was thinking I’d fixed the disappearing act my station was pulling by adjusting the solar radius, turns out it was the Model Resizer that did the trick -as StarTrader mentioned in the BayDoors thread.

GO into the Solararch.ini and increase the lod range of your station and its parts.
Most vanilla parts are only visible from 10-20k and some can be pushed up to 50k without editing the cmp.Hope that’s what u mean, i did not fully understand your issue.
But if i’m right your station disappeares while flying away from it.
Changing the LOD range should fix this for u.
