I tried looking into the scene.dat but it was unreadable with anything I had to open it with. I then opened it with Skwas S3D but changing the sizes I found in the moon.tga or the 3d model did nothing. I then exported the moon.tga into GIMP and took the image and enlarged it which also did nothing. So I did a zealous autocrop of the image with GIMP and imported it back into the .dat using S3D. This effectively enlarged the moon but not to my satisfaction and using this method I have already hit the limit on enlarging the image. Also, this does not work at all with the sun. So unless I can find another program that can make the .dat readable this is the best I can do to the moon. I have a feeling this is why with so many experienced modders out there this problem hasn't been fixed before in 16km environments. I have a feeling I'm on the right track but lack the experience to make it work. Maybe somebody with actual graphics experience can find a solution? If they're interested.
