The problem is the size of the pixels on your monitor screen.

Example: A 24" monitor with a 1920x1200 resolution will have smaller pixels than a 24" monitor with a 1680x1020 resolution. It's not about game resolution at all, it's about the amount of pixels used by the game to perform certain tasks on your monitor. Like dots at 5km. Smaller pixels = harder to spot.

Changing game resolution does not change your monitors native resolution = the amount of pixels used stays the same.

I tried the resolution 1920x1200 and 1024x768 resolution but nothing changes. I'm still limited to 5km

have you tried my suggestion? it's strange... i can see dots at 18km with my config and i have 1440x900

Deactivate AA, use "controled by application" AF, apply AF via il2setup

AA=anti aliasing
AF=anisotropic filtering

DOT is only the distance you can see the dot not the icons:
COLOR 2.500 = at what distance you see the color if you have icons enabled
RANGE 0.005 = at what distance you see the range if you have icons enabled
TYPE 3.500 = at what distance you see the type (bf109, spit, fw190, etc.) if you have icons enabled
ID 0.005 = at what distance you see the ID if you have icons enabled
NAME 0.005 = at what distance you see the Player Name if you have icons enabled

@set alias on
@set history 20

@alias a alias
@a h history
@a s show

@file settings.rcu

mp_dotrange FRIENDLY DOT 18.000 COLOR 2.500 RANGE 0.005 TYPE 3.500 ID 0.005 NAME 0.005

mp_dotrange FOE DOT 18.000 COLOR 2.500 RANGE 0.005 TYPE 3.500 ID 0.005 NAME 0.005
timeout 60000 file settings.rcu

it s ok ?

no

unzip the file i have attached in your IL-2 installation folder.Everytime you'll begin a new flight, open the console command (SHIFT+TAB) and type fr then enter then type fo then enter. At this time you can close the console command (SHIFT+TAB) and you'll see your icons at 25km (my settings are at 25km, you can change it editing the rcu file)

let me know

True.

Not true.

When using (for example) a 1280*800 game res on a 2560*1600 native res monitor leads into that every "game pixel" is drawn as 4 "actual pixels" as the smaller res image is stretched over the same monitor area.

Even using a 75% of the native resolution gives you this effect. One game pixel is shown as one fully colored pixel and the adjacent pixels being "blurred". I use this on my 30" 2560*1600 monitor (75% == 1920*1200). Works well for me.

The amount of pixels used by the game stays the same. Should have specified that, but you are correct. No matter how you see it, the pixels used by the game are smaller, and the whole game will become blurrier when lowering the resolution like that. It's all a matter of taste ofcourse.
