aircraft visibility

I wonder if it's possible to bind the zoom in/out control to also reduce the 'speed' in TrackIR. That might help a bit....but only a bit. In reality seeing other planes is a real pain, especially one they're over land.

I've wondered about this... halving the Field of View should half the speed of the tracking, to maintain equal rotational velocity.

It must be possible to setup the zoom/fov hotkeys to chage the trackIR tracking speed. So you can manipulate it on the fly... I'm going to check tonight for this too....

Yes, you can by profiler.

In my Saitek profiles for IL2, ROF and DCS I created an advanced command who zooms and locks the TiR movement when pressed, while it set normal FoV and unlocks the TiR when released.

In your case you only need to switch the TiR's locking key with the precision key.

I use it mainly to operate the cockpit switches without getting nausea from the head's movement.

Altough i activated MeshShowLod=1 there is no good solution for the problem. The aircraft are particulary difficult to see at medium distance from line astern position. The aircraft appears "blinking" and it is very annoying thing. The devs should find a solution this high priority i guess.

I have struggled with this problem quite a lot.
I think it ties in the with the AA not working properly aswell.
When I look at a plane at range the wings flash as they disappear and reappear.
I think the same thing may be happening with the enemy aircraft dots.
The only way I can stop it is to play at low resolution.
I play online at 1360x786. My graphics card can go higher but I lose sight of the enemy for a few crucial seconds.
