Except for the lack of grass which makes take off and landing very sad looking, I have not felt any decrease in graphics quality while dogfighting (I do not spend too much time looking at the ground details though so I am not an expert).
What is more important, I have no longer fps drops when dogfithting low above towns with many aiplanes around (before I had drops down to 18fps).
And just to show the fps and graphics quality with MeshShowLod=1:
(above the city, low, with many planes (behind me...)

Yes, I use similar settings and find them good. Whilst the CPU usage seems to go up with MeshShowLod it was so low to start with that I notice little difference.

By the way gents, with the settings I posted in the previous pages, I can now fly three missions on the server (approx 10kils) for two hours before needing to voluntarily restart CoD because of the memory leak bug :)
(before, I had to restart after every flown mission)

=> I mean the settings except the resolution...

Grathos- what program is open on the left side of your screen?
It looks very interesting

nvidia Inspector. Good for custom profiles with more options than the standard nvidia Control Panel.

Jimbop- i actually meant the other side of the screen. It looks like a configurable control interface.

Jimbob, the left side! {you know, the one where the thumb is on the right :D :D}

It is Touchbuddy, awesome freeware tool :) http://www.touch-buddy.com/ sometimes their server is down, you may have to wait and re-try.
Originaly made to use on a second touchscreen you may connect to your PC, I chose the easy way (window besides my CoD).
I use it mainly in order to control the complex bomb setting modes when flying bombers although the BAIL OUT key has seen the most usage to date...

but you can do very complex setups:

Yeah, the other right… Wouldn’t you love me on your squad! One beer too many (or few) I think. Glad you replied though, looks like an interesting tool. Will look it up when I get back.

335th_GRAthos, I noticed one of your chats on ATAG yesterday and unless I misread (again) you mentioned modifying a config file edit that enabled you to see better at distance. Unfortunately I CTD’d at that stage. Was this the MeshShowLod edit or something else?

Hi Jimbop, sorry no surprises here, it was the MeshShowLod edit.
Actually, it does not help me see far but stops the "vanishing moment" when the incoming dot disappears before turning into a real shape airplane.

Thanks Grathos- i'll have to look it up and see if i can tailor it to my wishes. I'd love to be able to create sliders for fuel mixture, flaps etc- i cant afford a throttle quadrant.

Tonight I had some great time on the ATAG server! First escaped from 2 hurris that almost got me killed in a low level dogfight over england. Then found robtek in the TS chat room and we had a really good flight! Lots of tactic involved and we managed to down a spitfire after a good 5 minutes or more of dogfighting (well, tbh he downed himself, but still we shared points on the kill). I didn't even get a full 1.00 score at the end of the game, but still was happier than many other times! :)

Great to read your post, Nunce. Glad you don't get too hung up on the stats kills -- it's the quality of the time you've spent on the server that really counts. :grin:
