Beta Patch: Spotting planes

[HR_Naglfar]

I didn't see any improvement on this aspect with the beta patch.

However you can try this for the disappearing contacts: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=28085

I saw no difference in the (difficult) ability to spot aircraft at a distance.

The successful guys are running low resolutions to get around this. I already run one step down from my native desktop resolution, and have extreme difficulty spotting aircraft at range. The last time I flew, the ATAG guys were calling out targets all around me and I never saw anything till some Do-17s popped up in front of me at fairly close range.

Very frustrating to have a game that looks so good at altitude, then to have to hobble it visually just to ID incoming bogeys.

There has to be a better way.

I did think there was a definite improvement. Aircraft were generally more visible as solid objects rather than just materializing and de-materializing at certain distances as they did before. However, what CoD gives with one hand it takes away with the other. The new prop effect is awful.

I haven't had much chance to test further as my game now refuses to launch since the application of the hotfix. Ho hum............................................... ..........................
