Yeah, will Steam see this as an exploit?

This indeed does help, awesome find! Although, I must say I get a rather large performance hit.

Running the 'Black Death' track, I saw as much as a 33% frame rate drop and lots of stuttering. A good example being when the airfield is being bombed, looking up at the HE111's; I normally get 30-34fps however, with this enabled I get 19-23.

But I can't help but use it, thanks for the find!

I suspect this make the high poly model viewed at far distances, working fine but overloading the gpu. It´s not the fine solution, only a temporal workaround for high end systems or for play with only a few aircraft. I would like to know how this impact fps with large bomber formations... It may be unplayable.

Back to MeshShowLod=0 for me.

You do get earlier pickups ... or a bigger initial dot. Also I find Aircraft ID can be made earlier. I did get a lot more stutter from time to time which I presume is being caused by additional graphical detail being loaded.

I set it back to zero and re tested ... much smoother play for me.

IMO dots of aircraft for example should be completely independent from graphics settings. To be fair to all .

Agree totally.

I was on ATAG comms last night and was shocked at how low some folks are running their resolutions just to "see" contacts better.

If it makes you feel any better I'm still at 1920 x 1080. If I die a few extra times oh well...
What is the point of buying a nice monitor if I'm going to play at a resolution my old CRT would easily handle?

Agree 100%.

I'm running my native 1920 X 1080 as well.
