HT and Crew:
Thanks for the Icon vis reduction when flying below 300 ft.! (not sure of the exact height, but I know I fly at around 50 ft.)

I was able to fly my goon underneath a F4u and a Niki (the Niki closed to within 3.4K) and remain Iconless (is that a word?).

Because of this little change, I was able to grab F20 from the dastardly rooks and get there undetected!  It adds alot to the strat to have the ability to be sneaky.

Rgr that Cobra, this has made Gooney driving a blast! It reminds me of an old Jane's sim when you had to fly the stealth fighter every once in awhile. I found it really boring but with the live action here its a Hooot!

Kicks new life into the base defence situation too. especialy with the hills and vallys...I wish the icon would be smaller or go bellow the plane or something sometimes...I feel like I have my periscope up...
109f4 rocks at low alt too.....real suprise for spit and niki pilots.

Unfortunately, with the increased dot size it's now easier to spot Goonies down low outside of icon range.

Many thanks to HT for the reduced icon range under 500 feet.  It has made goon driving so much more enjoyable.  My heart is really beating when I see a con above slowly closing...4.3...4.2..4.1..4.0 ...3.9..3.8..3.7..3.6...3.7.. .3.8..3.9....whew he's flying away, I was never seen, what a relief    I think that the icons/dots are right where they should be.  It's not impossible to find a goon on the ground but with a good sweep and a little hard looking it becomes manageable.  Thanks again HT!
