Hahah .................patch. Funny.

If you lose direct visual with the contact the label disappear and you have to research for it.

What I mean is that the application must simulate what the pilots see.

It's a lot different from the magic F6 on the old IL2 and labels are not ruining your flight experience... unpress the key and the labels turn off, press it again and you instantly see the contact that you have acquired (if you are looking at the right direction, of course)

Here's my idea.

I tried using the Meshlod=1 solution, didn't notice any big improvement but noticed a considerable hit to my framerate. I went back to Meshlod=0.

The best solution for me is to reduce Antialias to '0'- that seems to have fixed it for me. No longer do i see planes disapearing as i close on them, when they hit that sweetspot of changing from a dot to a plane profile. One of the guys on comms on the ATAG server suggested it and a number of us tried it. We all agreed it made a huge improvement.

.... true !!! 100% agree !!!

What do you mean? AA off in the game menu, or is it on the nVidia control panel?

+1 (absurd these things are still a problem!).

Ok that simulation means approximation, ok that it is a well known problem of some airplanes in Il2, but that really ruins alot of the simulation, frustrating the best moment of the game, the one in wich you start to manouver the fight.

In Il2 that problem was bypassed enlarging the less polygon lods of a certain percentage, I really hope that there is a better way of solving it, if not at least that solution works.

The game is improved alot in the last patch, finally is something flyable, I really hope in the FM future modifications, but a perfect simulator that hide to you the targets at the worst moment is not something that works for me..
