109s in particular tend to disapear at mid-near range

Thanks for the feedback farber. I don’t observe the same problem with red aircraft disappearing when they change from dot to polygon. And I also don’t observe this phenomena happening with other blue aircraft types (stukas in particular, which are smallish, don’t do this).

I look at red aircraft all the time when I’m flying and they don’t exhibit the same graphical responses as the 109 in particular. I would be very surprised if the visual effects with respect to the 109 were only observable from a red-aircraft cockpit, and not a blue one.

I’m going to do some more blue flying though, to see if the problem of spotting 109s is psychological…

Fly a 109 long enough on line and your'll see red fighters doing it.

Do red aircraft disappear when you fly red?

It's a LOD problem. Has nothing to do with red or blue aircrafts, but rather with its dimensions.

I suffered it the first time flying in a Spitfire, couldn't see a squad mate flying in another Spit at a certain distance.

Ok I think we are talking about different issues then.

I do not have any problems with any aircraft (red or blue) , except for the light painted 109s.

Same issue here. But what I hate worse are the ghost dots.
