do you have any issues with the "visibility bubble" and ground object popup issue with your new setup ? if there is still over 1 gb available on your gfx card in unused ram, future coding improvements have potentially a significant amount of room to reduce that visibility bubble problem. might be hard for ATAG coder to deal with that part, since their limited access might not be sufficient to access the code that deeply

Down low, I see what you mean by the bubble, bad deal

[zapatista]

this is the visibility "bubble" i was talking about,

some experience it less then others. it is basically different amount of detail in zones/sectors further away from the viewer. as you fly around, this "bubble" moves with you, and is for ex what makes it hard for high altitude bombers to find their targets (the target building/airfields are not modeled in sufficient detail to be visible from that far distance, making their identification/locating difficult)



it is probably the biggest detractor from the game currently, but some experience it less then others

but some experience it less then others"


I wonder if being red/green color blind is a factor...now I understand and can see how thats a huge problem with the game
