A potential fix for the Aircraft visibility problems?

Seems to me that Zaps point about the monitor using TN is again something to consider.

no slipball,....its definitely not a a monitor issue nor a pilot loosing track problem...
if i have a spit in my REVI 2km distance i can see it perfectly...
i gain on it,..still in my REVI 1,8km,...its starts to shimmer...
i still come closer,..still in my REVI 1,6km,...its suddenly invisible(if i zoom into it, it suddenly appears again)
there is a distance, where they will become visible again(cant say exactly what it is now).
the reason i know that its not a monitor issue is the fact, that this bug was introduced with one of the patches last year...this problem didnt exist in the release version.

Maybe I did over state, I assume now that this happens on-line?

online and offline its the same problem...

Interesting, I will look further into this to see if I can replicate. Again though zapatista has found that those using TN monitors seem to not notice this.

I don't really know what to say because I don't have the problem, I'm sure others do though...tell me if the dot disappears for you during the veiwing, there is a point at about 1.8 that it gets smaller, but still visible for me all the way to 5.35

yeah and i totally believe you, and some squadmates say that they dont suffer from this either....
i tried as well every possible combination of graphics settings, but to no avail...
all i can say is, that its definitely a ingame problem,...maybe it has to do with how the game handles different systems and how it draws textures according to it...

for example some of us have problems with almost invisible revis, and not loading textures properly....

So David you were unable to track the dot in my file?...not sure what system you have but these are my settings, not sure if a factor.

I dont think those setting will matter as they only apply to the steam client (run off steam.exe) and not to CloD which runs off launcher.exe (you have to manually add this iirc).
