problem to see enemies at 5km
 

hello all,

before I saw the enemies at 15km but since purchasing my new video card I see them at 5km max and the pixel is tiny and blurry.

iI took the conf.ini of friends that way for 10km but nothing changes for me.

LCD24" , nvidia GTX285 2go, AMD phenom II X4 955, 4go mo.

For months I'm looking for but without success, I do not know what to do if you can help me please

Try lower AA settings in the NV control panel.

Did you change the resolution?

If you want to see enemy 'dots' you must fly 1024x768 resolution -game was 'optimised' at that ...strange but true...oh and a tragedy on a 2560x1600 monitor but a complete waste of time using any other resolution if you want to see enemies...I cant even see them taking off from bases 1000m below!

I tried changing resolution but no improvement over the distance. How far do you see the first appear pixiel a plane?

Standard for first pixel is 8km for fighters, slightly more for bombers.

AA tends to blur this pixel, especially below horizon (except with winter terrain), so keep low AA, and give one more notch in res if you want less jaggies.

Main problem is usually at 1000m, down to 300m, when contact is below and same general color as background. Not much to do for this, except maybe a very big monitor (30" ?).

with nHancer I disabled anti-aliasing and anisotropic. no big change, I had heard of DLLs that can improve this is this true?

thanks for reply.

new in my problem, I tried the mod HSFX Here I see the flash of an enemy first pixel at 10km. is that it could put a pro on the way to solve my problem?

Yes, i forgot of this but you can use an advanced setup in console called dotrange, search the readmes on this.

You can change settings and mess around all you want but the problem will always be the size of your pixels. I assume you have a 1920x1200 res ofcourse.

The game uses a certain amount of pixels for certain tasks(like bogeys at 5+km for example) and when those pixels are smaller than on a 1600x1080, they will naturally be harder to spot. The only real solution is to get a larger size screen, given that the resolution stays the same. Or a similar size monitor with lower resolution. :)

thanks, i try.
