Resolution ?

[Tacoma74]

Basically the bigger and higher max resolution your monitor is, used along with a super low resolution in game would make distant planes alot easier to spot. Just as cheesehawk has said. Instead of using one pixel for a distant object at max resolution it would use multiple at a lower res, thus making it easier to see...

Thanks gang
good info: I'm gonna go fiddle with all that

So people flying at native resolution are handicapped? Geez. While nice to know, i won´t lower my resolution, just for the purpose of being able to spot them more easily.

I don't agree with this idea that ac are easier to see at lower res and find high res far better at rendering distant ac. My 22 in monitor is 1920 x 1080 native and the only other res that is acceptable in terms of clear defintion is 1280 x 1024 with a 4:3 aspect.

I switch between those two depending on wether I am in MP or SP. I tried all the other lower resolutions (e.g, widescreen 1600 x 900) but found them all to be inferior in terms of spotting ac. I would think that a larger display at high res is probably far better.

I seem to be able to spot planes and ships well on SP and MP, sometimes it seems, before my companions spot them. I just run everything native on a big screen.

I tried the lower resolution and Yuck !!!! it was like a arcade game.

I think my issue is that I am really new: and will have to learn how to spot.

probably much like the real pilots had to learn

I'm playing on 1680x1050 (native resolution) on a 22inch LCD.

Up until four days ago, my dot visabilty was absolutly attrocious. I was always at a disadvantage in multiplayer without labels. Over about 200 metres way I could not see an E/A, and I had no hope of tracking a fast moving plane against the ground.

I happened to mention it on teamspeak and One of the guys asked me if I had calibrated my monitor, the answer to which was "no".

5 minutes later after using the windows 7 screen calibration utility and it has transformed my game. I can actually see the dots way out into the distance and I can track aircraft against the terrrain which was impossible for me to do before.

Make sure you have calibrated your monitor and give it a go with native resolution before reducing your resolution for visibility purposes.


Cheers!

S!

I have a LG 30" LCD with 2560x1600 native. Can't see poopie with it, but the game is so pretty that I can't lower the res With 90 fov (and higher) I can read the instruments clearly, but usually I spot enemy ac when they start firing at me
