Quick EVE Question - is it supposed to be like this?

[VelocityPolaris]

Ok, so I'm running Environmental Visual Enhancements (latest EVE and configs from github) with it's clouds and city lights, nothing else, and I find myself wondering a thing. City lights, they're great, yeah. But are they supposed to disappear once you get closer? I vaguely recall reading something that suggested this. I've provided some images to demonstrate my problem.

Figure No. 1: As you can see below, the city lights are working properly from orbital and even aerial altitude. No complains here.

 

Figure No. 2: But once Jeb lands and plants a flag, the city lights don't disappear or fade to grass or anything, they just stick around in one ugly blob.

 

So, IN CONCLUSION, the question I'm here to ask is whether this is a bug, or a feature. Do the city lights stick around in your games? Are they 'sposed to?

As far as I know, the city lights textures are meant to look nice from the distance... just from the distance and there is no feature to fade them out while coming closer.
Pretty much the reason why I removed them in my installs
