It doesn't just reveal where GVs areplaced - it's a preset one-touch funtion which alters the graphic settings. It's essentially the same thing as altering the detail settings by hand.
Uhhh.....both right and wrong there. Ground detail range pushes ground detail out to 4k, so yes it reveals icons vs. my meager .5k ground detail range I have to fly with. I have found it even helps reveal thoses pesky "can't see the icon 'cause it's on the deck" planes. I have ALL sliders set to performance, so that isn't something I could trade off with and I have to fly in shift F3 detail when more than 3-4 planes in the area. I WAS able to run more detail in earlier Beta versions (go figure)

Turn off everything before starting AH. Anti virus, message systems, auto updates, downloaders ect.
Or add another user that does'nt fire up all the background stuff.
Flush your systems of spy ware with a free spy remover.
For those with Gforce use Omega Performance drivers http://www.omegacorner.com
I understand WHY you are posting that, but it doesn't apply to me. I have NO spyware (run SpyKiller,AddAware,Spybot almost every day), I have only a firewall running in background (Kerio firewall,explorer,systray only TSR's allowed on MY system), and I DO run the omega drivers. I even run a proggy that defrags System Memory, and that is the ONLY way I do NOT lose UDP upon entering arena. It's called SpeedUp, and it frees up your RAM. I have spent 1/2 hour on the phone w/Skuzzy, and he was stumped as well. GREAT suggestions for those not already doing them.
