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.

I would like to organize a 'big wing' on ATAG for tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec 13th)!

Time: 8:30pm EST (Toronto time).

Purpose of the exercise? To practice formation flying in a hostile combat environment and wingman tactics. Stay with your leader!

Very often a group of RAF planes will get together and fly out towards the enemy, but whenever combat is joined it all goes belly up. One of the most successful flights I ever had was when a group of us, 6 or so planes, managed to stay together throughout engagements and help each other.

So! With that in mind, let's arrange some group operations! If you'd like to participate, join me on the ATAG teamspeak server. We'll use a separate Flight channel to make sure we don't cross comms with others who don't want to participate.

Also, if you know you'd like to participate, shoot me a PM so I can get a sense of the numbers. Also, send me your preferred aircraft identification (A, B, C, etc.) so we can arrange all that ahead of time if possible.

Hope to see you tomorrow night!

Ouch, looks like it was a fun landing! I was at work unfortunately... I'm down under which is bad for server timings (except for weekends) but pretty good for everything else!
