Contact sight problem.. really something to patch!!

Surely he studied more that argument with a plethora of complex instruments and interviews

I'm sure that if the study was done by the Royal Navy, or the Kreigsmarine, or the Regia Marina then you wouldn't be rolling your eyes, would you?

Tamat was rolling eyes on the guy (troll) who ridiculized the US Navy research found by Tamat himself, you should read the whole thread.

If that's the case then I offer apologies. It just did not read that way to me, and the thread has dragged on for 2 months, so it's hard to keep it all in perspective.

Scusa mi Tamat.

I found on my set up to place the as setting and such
to 4x and now I see very wellOh and application controlled.

I just checked my conf.ini and the "MeshShowLod=1" parameter is in the [core] section. Someone mentioned earlier that it is in the [Net] section. I believe [core] is the correct section.

S!

Mastiff, did you mean Anisotropic Filtering to 4x and FSAA to Application controlled?

[AV8R_]

OK great, so there are AA, Filtering and LOD switching workarounds...

So in summary, there are these two:

• Anisotropic Filtering to 4x and FSAA to Application controlled
• conf.ini and the "MeshShowLod=1" parameter is in the [core] section.

I wonder if these both to be used together, or only one at a time, and on older systems if its better to use only the AA and Filtering strategy. Being that the
MeshShowLod method is frame rate costly.

Has anyone make any frame rate and screen shot comparisons for these?

[Flanker35M]

S!

I use only the AF at 4x and AA at Application Controlled, the LOD setting in conf.ini has too big hit on FPS and causes stuttering.

They are two different fixes for two different problems.

If you have problems sighting contacts, but the contacts are there and it's just that they are very difficult to see, may be changing your graphic conf can improve that.

But there are a LOD problem that some people have and some doesn't. Approx between 800 and 2000m the contacts are simply invisible. If you have this problem then MeshShowLod=1 fix that. If you are lucky and don't have this problem then there's no need of changing anything in the conf.ini.

I don't know the exact cost in FPS, I play in a very old PC and already have very low FPS (and by low I mean 10-15fps) without MeshShowLod=1. But I use it anyway because without it I don't see anything between 800m and 2000m near me.
