Solved FPS optimization for campaigns

For me object detail on the setup–>graphics tab on BMS is a major fps killer. I now have the slider to object detail 1. @airtex2019 can you confirm? Apparently that slider has to do with LOD per distance. But I really can’t see the difference from inside the cockpit.
Hi
Some say with object detail 1 you cant see contacts unless well inside 5nm. Yesterday I tried an AAR TE and the tanker suddenly pop up at 5nm! But not a single pixel but several pixels with the shape of a tanker.
I will return to object detail 7 for the moment

@Caldero yes my friend. If you look at my post right above yours, I came to the same conclusion! I now also have it at 7.

Hi again
Correction: i did more testing (Quest 2 VR, Balkans theater) and I think I was wrong: To see the tanker at 5 nm I have to set the object detail to 7, if I set it to 1 I can only see the tanker at 1 - 2 nm!
Anybody can confirm this?
Best regards

For 1-2 nm, I confirm.

I can see enemy aircraft from 9nm even on object detail at 1

Your computer has a good sight.

tanker at 9.3Nm (this is without VR zoom by the way)

obviously a lot depends on FOV. I like flying at 100° fov but even on my 4k monitor, big planes like tankers don’t become a pixel until inside about ~12nm.
At some point I thought the premise of Smart Scaling was that objects would still render at least 1 physical pixel, at any reasonable distance they should be visible. But it doesn’t seem to be true… at least not for 4k and/or wide FOV.
Or maybe I’m just not capable of seeing 1 dark pixel on a 4k display.

@danaos75 thank you! I’ll stop aimlessly scanning for contacts I know are there and wondering why the hell I cant find them visually until they are putting an Archer up my pipe!
