LOD problem solved, a.k.a. disappearing contacts!

Yep, initial test confirms. Good job!

Sticky thread and default this value in next patch please.

Yeah, will Steam see this as an exploit?

What affect do you think the rest of that section might have;

"MeshStatics=3
MeshStaticsDetail=1
SimpleMesh.QTNoCompose=0
MeshFirstLod=0
MeshShowLod=1"

I'll not touch the others, but in particular, perhaps, MeshFirstLod=0 might work in unison with MeshShowLod=1 .

Again thanks.

In fact, I tried MeshFirstLod=1 with MesShowLod=1 at first. But MeshFirstLod only actives a kind of low detail cockpit under the normal cockpit.

I didn't touch any other line, but I have MeshStatics=0 and MeshStaticsDetail=0 btw. I suppose it depends of the graphics options.

I supposed that must be some performance hit, I didn't test it so much though.

It's sad because I play in a very old PC with a medium of 15fps or so But at least is a temporal solution while they improve the LOD transitions.

First test and I think it is an improvement. No vanishing act at around 1-2km.

Going to try this out

This is major! Certainly worth a try. Thanks for sharing!

I think that MeshShowLod is basically loading the lod 3D model for example if you write MeshShowLod=2 or 3 and will load the 3D model asked.. so it may do the dot bigger at some point..

All Mesh setting are the same test
