When activating the mod, there were several options which affect that, in-game options can't touch them anymore.
Like:
Crossfire's HD backgrounds (a different name but saying this, and second option was normal freelancer backgrounds)
"Rendering low res nebulas", the newest option
advanced shaders can also affect it
-->when activating the mod<-- which only happens once.
"Rendering the low res nebulas" to be better, not "low rendering".
Rendering low res Nebula must be DISABLED if u want everything at MAX!

Yes, I remembered "better" cus I knew it was making it work faster, but not more quality.
But once you enable or disable it when activating the mod, it'll never change even if you put all in-game options to max.
It's just an example of more options, the Crossfire HD backgrounds can't be changed to vanilla ones anymore as I think.
the mod creation is an ongoing process
several parts of it are from times where we were not sure about performance issues
so some older parts of CF for sure will have to get recreated sooner or later
also i have to admit that probably the flmm description is confusing to you
I as creator of the mod had something in mind when creating it... but probably not everyone understands that
Could those options have a roll-over message ? when putting your mouse over, to appear a description like saying the very probable issues of Advanced Shaders, or what each option really does. For those who don't check the forum / manuals before installing the mod.
As I haven't seen an example of what's above, guess it harder than should, so there could be boxes explaining it under the options list.
Like i said, all at max, so no i dont have low res nebulas enabled.
Not all space there is low res, its a collage of different layers with different resolutions.
And the yellow nebula (2d background) is making me feel like i plugged in my old sega 16 bit and am playing F22 Interceptor again...
there is no roll-over function
and the space for descriptions is very limited
I see, but there's no limit going down on the page, right ? I guess you could put a kind of text bar , better performance on left, higher graphics on right, or so ?
Like:
option 1
option 2
Crossfire HD backgrounds / Freelancer low res backgrounds
option 4
etc
option 1's feature explanation
option 2's ones
high performance(or other words) / better performance
etc
dunno about such limits... but i can imagine that there are those
every additional stuff risks to break the flmm limits (which are not that high in version 1.31)
Hmm, then adding them in the readme (which appears on the left side when selecting the mod) wouldn't damage anything but help if somebody cares 
nobody reads the readme
hmm...
But at least, when somebody comes on the forum telling issues , we can point at that readme. Like in the situation a player manually selects the mods folder (which is wrong), the Crossfire will appear on the mod list, but there'll be no readme on the left and the install won't work properly. This happened lately.
The option details should be on top of everything though, to see it on the left and not having to click to read the entire readme (which is true that noone will do).
@OP:
Try : dontreadme
rofl
We have a forum that can be used to give descriptions, we have a FAQ that could be used for that. If you just have the nerves to write it then everything would be clear already. FLMM is really no option in my eyes as the minority cares to read what options there are - same like the readme files, they are called this way to be ignored by everyone^^
Well, then I must be a minority of few because I read the "readme" docs, forums, and anything else I can to help me understand and play any game. Oh, wait, I do the same thing with any application I run. Hmm, must be the old technical control supervisor in me. MERRY Christmas All!!
Yeah, we are a minority 
But you're not alone
