Old Timer Problems

I've had vision problems since the last release. I swear visual distances have changed, to me tanks appear smaller at short range (to me what was the size of a panzer at 1200-1500 is now 800) and planes are next to impossible to spot until they are very close. But Waffle says it's still 15? miles. (I might be wrong on the distance it might be 5) :)

The screen dot and the zoom key mapped to a stick button. I don't zoom all the way in, just enuf to maybe increase target size 20% or so.

Get real close and just as you feel the urge to press the trigger, hit the zoom button and fine tune.

Oh, and Sam's Club cheaters, of course. I'm using 2x for gaming.

Works for me.

unless you set your larger monitor at a lower resolution, the larger monitor does not help you see any better.
I have a 24" dell but run it at 1920x1200 so the planes are still very small. I zoom in alot when I am in close to help see better.

think I'd rather miss what I am shooting at in AH then stare at a dot in the center of my monitor the rest of the time I'm on the computer LOL

When I turned 50 I started using the WalMart special glasses. 1.99 with a magnification of 1.5.  I finally had to break down and see an Eye Doctor and get prescription glasses.  Within a year and a half I had to see the Eye Doctor again and get a new prescription.  I do notice I shoot better when I get new glasses.  When my bullets hit nothing but air it's time to make another appointment and sure enough I need new glasses.

Got my first set of prescription glasses at 56 and 18 months later I had to get another prescription.  And yes I use a 22inch monitor flying at 1280X1024 hi-res.

Hmmmmmm...I don't think it has anything to do with age.   Before the "frames friendly" landscape was introduced...it was easy to pick up targets against the ground.    Since the change....to the dark side....its been harder to see ANYTHING!    

When they first changed it....you couldn't even see the HILLS if you were AGL 100.   Lots of people complained and it got a little better.  But nothing like it was before the change.

Do a search on Gamma and Terrain....you will see the same.... I can't see s**t! complaints.

It is what it is.

Dear Mrs Shifty,

When She Devil allowed me to purchase the 23" flat panel so I could enjoy the game more I suddenly became easier to live with, my flatulance practically disappeared, and the dogs quit cowering when I was at my controls after a few weeks of deprogramming, and all four of the children quit hiding in their rooms.

Just a thought.

Your friend

Dicho :D

PS a video card that supports two monitors makes for a happier mate as well.

Try setting a button to toggle your zoom....... When your following or on thier 6 you can toggle the zoom and see them just fine.

I can't tell if storch is joking or not when he says take a sharpie to your monitor, but that would be a bad idea for an LCD screen since it's plastic, not glass.  I'd say if  you want to go that route then put a dot on a piece of scotch tape and use that.

Also, I've found that lowering the ambient lighting and adjusting the gamma (in game) and color balance (on the monitor) can go a long way to helping in-game vision.  As well, crank your refresh rate up to its max on a CRT monitor.  I don't think that has much effect on LCD since they don't scan the way CRTs do.
