📋 About This Mod
That anamorphic (called 'streak' in CK) lens flare is extremely annoying and distracting so I removed it. There were two other effects in the lens flare record but I left those in because they aren't nearly as atrocious.
It will also be removed from any other vehicle that uses the same flame/exhaust effect as the REV-8.
Please ensure that NoREV8LensFlare.esm is loaded after (below) SFBGS004.esm. I've also included the .esp file under Miscellaneous Files.
A tiny visual fix for Starfield that removes the horizontal skid mark lens flare when boosting in the REV-8. Simple, focused, and popular with 31 endorsements and over 12k downloads. For players who find the effect distracting.
