What in the world is this??
« on: April 04, 2008, 03:45:04 PM »
Ok I was in a Wirblewind soon after its release and was defending a V base. I was panning around looking for planes and saw this......



I have been playing for about a year and a half. I think I would have noticed this by now. Maybe i turned a new icon on or something.......or im a total noob.......but...

Please help.

A bailed pilot's icon still says their callsign though...

Your tiny picture shows nothing.

We need a full res picture, or at least a video.

It's a friendly that the building is blocking. I've seen that before. Had you driven up you would have seen his full icon/callsign. Kind of weird you could see it that far out though?

Every now and then somebody will be logged on and their ID shows as a blank.  You'll see them typing text messages with no id at all.. just spaces.

Judging from your screenshot, it looks as though this would be how they look in the game.

I don't know what causes it, but that would be my guess.
