Hi guys.

I see the contacts as 2-3 pixel wide, small, grey dots. Not easy to see (as you read, I wrote 5 contacts, but there is another one, and a whole bomber squadron too), but it visible. I admit, from this distance this is a pixel-hunt.

The AA is an interesting thing. I don't use Anti Aliasing since IL-2, because when I turned on, I lost the contacts - mostly over ground). The game blurring the one pixel contacts into the background. Not good. Some of you wrote, that the CloD's FXAA improve his visibility... i will try it, but my experience, that every smoothing, blurring, etc effect only degrade the "one pixel contact" visibility.
Very important: The LCD monitors must be use in native resolution!
Increase monitor brightness and contrast helps*, but my mate said that he tried the dynamic contrast, but the screen flashed dimly. It is certainly not good.
Very important the ergonomy, sit an arm's length in front of the monitor.
* I'm tried to set the brightness-contrast 0-100. I saw the pixels all time, so if anyone simple don't see the pixels, that is an another problem then.

I don't know it helps or not, i write my monitor settings:
Samsung 226BW monitor, 1680x1050 native resolution.
Brightness 100
Contrast 75
Magicolor Off
Color Tone - normal
Color Control - 50-50-50
Gamma - mode3
Sharpness - 60
All other menu is indifferent, or "not available".

A small note at end: The contact visibility is the same, but the contact detection easier in the game, because the dots are moving. If you flying straight and don't move your head ("fixed the background"), you will see the contacts much easily than you see in a photo.
