Hard to see the aircraft

Ive allways wanted the option to be able to change that 45 degree to a lesser amount.. i wonder if there is a way to do that..

I thought that you could choose either snap or pan view for POV switch?

Snap View = You rotate to a Certain degree, releasing the Hat-Switch centers your view. And trust me, Snap view is even more worse than pan view. The smallest Rotation iirc were 90°.

none, that i´m aware off.

AA is helping because it smudges the 1/2 dot pixels over their neighbors, making the spot a little bit bigger than the no AA dot. On the other hand, it blends the edges against the background, which should make it a little bit harder to see.

So, overall, I guess the AA/noAA dot sighting improvement really comes down to specifics (resolution used, dot's distance, dot's background, user's sight, monitor settings, room lighting, etc).

The biggest problems atm with the dots are the hardcoded distances at which the dot is switched off and the smallest LOD is switched on. they are not overlapping each other, and this is what is causing the disappearing dots problem. Also, it seems that at around those distances, the dot's relative (rendered) size is bigger than lowest LOD's relative (rendered) zie, which again leads to the above mentioned problem.
