DOT resolution, resolution: Use two monitors. Show the same on each but set the resolution way down on one. Use this one to spot the damn 109's and the other to really enjoy blowing them up in full resolution! ha ha ha..... I'm sooo looking forward to win the Battle of Britain (cliffs of Dover.....?) in my Spit. Don't understand why people want to fly the inferior, mediocre, 109?! (oooops; OT, sorry)

Both players run il2 In Those Resolutions - this is what I mean is that a player with a monitor number 2 has a much larger problem, for spoting enemy "dot"Because of pixel sizes in the monitor - unless he reduces the resolution, which creates its kind of a little paradox - we have the hardware to play at high resolution but reduce it in order to have an equal chance of spotting enemy (thiss happen online all time) - my question is whether the COD this problem will also exist, as in IL2: 1946?

That is really annoying. Hope something is done to fix that problem.

I don't really think this is a 'problem' - ie something that needs to be 'fixed'

A side-effect of running a monitor with higher resolution is that you get a more realistic experience - in this case distant aircraft are rendered more precisely.

The result, of course, for those who value the competitive gaming experience is that they suffer a disadvantage in being able to spot enemy ac.

For those who value realism over getting a competitive edge there is no problem.

Again, wow! I can already imagine the countless hours that will be spent in the mission builder

Oh ... my previous post has disapeared ... probably banned because I didn't say something positive about BoB ... (I was only saying: '4years of delay and the wheather effects won't even be available in the first release ... is it considered as trolling to say the truth ?)

Question to the moderators:

On this forum are we allowed to say that something looks wrong in BoB updates or will we be banned for 'Trolling' if we don't say what we really think (like during the bolchevic period ) ?

That doesn't sound terribly constructive to me Redwan. I'm not surprised the mod took issue.

I'm sure many of us are disappointed about the dynamic weather but venting in the update thread isn't going to bring it back.

Why do you think that talking about the weak points of BoB isn't constructive ?

If the wheather effects are not nice why can't I say it ?

1. where is the constructive part?
2. there are NO effects, so can't even dislike them
3. feel free to be disappointed, but please refer to point 1

May have had more to do with how you said it?

If people are respectful they can usually say what they want.

Why isn’t it respectful to say that the dev team is very (several years) late with the making of the whether effect ?
