Actually, it does not help me see far but stops the "vanishing moment" when the incoming dot disappears before turning into a real shape airplane.

This is a tip from Little D that he shared with over at the ATAG forum: turn your in-game menu setting for Anti-Aliasing to "OFF". Many of us have it set to x2 (for what good it does ). Turning it off did this for me and a few others that tried it:

1) Can now spot enemy/friendly bomber formations from a reasonable medium-distance at high monitor resolution (mine: 1920 x 1200 native). Until now I'd been running lower monitor res just to be able to actually SEE anything before it was on top of you. The same applies for single aircraft contacts.

2) LOD doesn't temporarily "disappear" when closing on an aircraft. I did the MeshLodShow=1 in conf.ini which worked, but paid a price in terms of slower frame rates and stuttering. Leaving it at "0" and turning off anti aliasing in-game didn't affect the frame rates. I'm just happy to run at high res. low res cockpits are ugly, but high res tracers are uglier! LOL

Thanks again to Little D for this easy-to-try tip.
