when they introduced this bug, i thought this was only a matter of a few days until a hotfix will be available...its really puzzling, as this is a major bug and really ridiculous that it actually made it into the final release...

the last two days i was spending much time and fiddled with the conf.ini file, to see if there is a workaroung except the meshshowlod=1 trick.up until now, without any result unforutantely...
having to zoom in to avoid the vanishing is of course possible, but you will lose situational awareness....
i dont believe, that this would be hard to fix for the devs, but what do i know.

Well, part of the reason is that back when the game was released the dot was rendered at ALL ranges, even when taxiing next to a spitfire you could see a little 2D dot just under/behind the cockpit. They must've taken that out to make the game more photogenic, but put the distance out too far.
