yeah notafinger,....im also pretty confident, that adjusting the conf.ini in the steam directory doesnt have any effect at all, as its only the backup...adjusting the conf.ini in the 1c softclub folder and the MeshShowLod line does indeed have an effect though...
for me:
Meshshowlod=0 fluid performance, but contacts totally disappear in midrange
=1 half the framerate,stutters, but contacts stay visible
everything above 1 leads to disappearing parts of your own plane....the higher the value, the more parts of your plane disappear...
the highest value accepted by the game seems to be meshshowlod=6
as it will reset itself automatically as soon as you enter anything above 6
the annoying thing though is, that with all those values above 1 the other planes stay visible and dont disappear, while the performance is still fluid...but unfortunately its not of use, as you own plane isnt visible....
