I don't really know what to say because I don't have the problem, I'm sure others do though...tell me if the dot disappears for you during the veiwing, there is a point at about 1.8 that it gets smaller, but still visible for me all the way to 5.35

yeah and i totally believe you, and some squadmates say that they dont suffer from this either....
i tried as well every possible combination of graphics settings, but to no avail...
all i can say is, that its definitely a ingame problem,...maybe it has to do with how the game handles different systems and how it draws textures according to it...

for example some of us have problems with almost invisible revis, and not loading textures properly....

So David you were unable to track the dot in my file?...not sure what system you have but these are my settings, not sure if a factor.

I dont think those setting will matter as they only apply to the steam client (run off steam.exe) and not to CloD which runs off launcher.exe (you have to manually add this iirc).

It should be pointed to the IL2, Launcher.exe..... That controls your game not steam, Steam is a user interface for gaming social program not for games exe.

Currently having a lot of success with these modifications to the conf.ini file in the steam folders (NOT USER/MY DOCUMENTS!!):

ShowMeshLOD=8 (was 0, 1 gives poor fps)
VisibilityDistance=0 (turned down from original)

Contrast is set to 1.4 and gamma to 0.6 through a custom colour/shade modifier (though CCC or Nvidia control panel will do the same job) .

(I have a bright, 8bit monitor).

The game looks quite nice on these settings, keep in mind contrast and gamma are exponential differences in my program.

Just haven't read all posts, but what about resolution? Native resolution? A non native resolution could also draw wrong. It could be that aa draws it out of sight and it could be, that your monitors hardware is scaling like a nap!

My first aim in games is to always run it in native resolution to avoid bad scaling. Just my quick post to that topic

mh thats interesting and definitely worth a try, as i get really poor fps with meshshowlod=1!
i remember i also tried to put other values than 1 into meshshowlod line....but i think i gave up before i entered 8....

why do you adjusted your conf.ini in your steam folder and not in the 1c one?

EDIT: ok i just tried it....if i put meshshowlod=8 into th steam conf.ini,...there is no change in visibility, and planes still disappear
if i adjust the 1c conf.ini,.....then the planes dont disappear anymore, and fps seem to be as good as with meshshowlod=0,....but then i have no cockpit visible anymore, and can see partly through the remaining textures of my plane...

but the game doesnt accept meshshowlod=8, cause when i quit the game, and opened the conf.ini, it was reset to meshshowlod=6
