Big thanks for the detailed response zapatista....~S~..

I am writing this before I have read the link that you posted....

The problem I get is that aircraft go through a disappearing 'zone' as they outrun me or I catch them up....For instance as I close in I will first spot the aircraft (enemy or friendly) and as I approach they suddenly vanish ...and then as I get closer I will see the same aircraft suddenly appear..I have tested this with my wingmate and flown a headon which I experienced this phenomenon as we closed...but he didn't...as we closed at something in the region of 3-400 mph his aircraft vanished for a period of 2-3 seconds....so that gives an idea of just how large this window of invisibility is.....I don't get it if the aircraft I am following turns in this 'zone' giving me the profile so I guess it is a matter of pixel amount viewable through this problem area.

Having said that I have decided to try and live with this problem for the time being....Its a frustrating problem even trying to keep with my wingman but the fact that I am new to TrackIR and full real servers posses other problems at the moment which I am enjoying learning to overcome.

Out of interest my monitor is below:

Lewis,

and what is your team mate's monitor ? (the person who can see these same distant aircraft dots so much better then you on the same server)

btw, i presume you know how to set your CoD to use the correct FoV setting that corresponds to your monitor size ? only in that view can you have a hope to see distant objects roughly correctly. having a wider FoV setting will function like a "zoom out" effect, and objects will be much smaller and harder to see (see the link to the previous thread i posted for further info)

still, a significant number of people are reporting the same problem you did (disapearing distant aircraft dots as you approach them), so there defenitely are some major bugs there.
