the 40' tv you were using had pixels about 2x the size (about .50 mm), so those dots used in il2 to represent distant aircraft would be 2x larger and much easier to see.
when il2 users initially started to buy those big high resolution pc monitors thinking they would land in gaming nirvana, they found that it made them vulnerable in flying competitively online because they had a hard time seeing the enemy, and ended up setting their expensive monitors to 1/2 its native resolution to overcome this (running it at 1280 x 800)
it is possible that with better gfx cards and being able to run 16x AA and high AF settings that this is less of an issue now, but its something to be aware of when you find you are starting to have a hard time seeing the enemy !
there is no indication oleg will resolve this issue in BoB either, or any sign he is even aware of the problem. |
And you don't think those "competitive" types on-line are not running 800x600 in 16bit to gain the advantage ??
Just drop the graphics down to see house bricks flying around and you will see the advantage some of these "aces" have.
