Losing Icon on eny at d600 to d800 in duel
« on: July 23, 2010, 09:52:10 PM »
It doesnt happen everytime but I noticed it probably about 5 or 6 times tonight while I was dueling throughout 10 or so fights.  I do have film of the duels and I'll search through them tomorrow if I have time to find the spots.  It's not really that big of a deal it only occurred for a sec or two at a time just letting you know.

Also two people were saying they were landing on the runway tonight and they got ditches just a heads up I don't have any evidence of this besides two people in the DA DozyDuck and Rowdy1 experienced it.

I noticed the loss of the icon in numerous views, all around the same around of the screen -- lower, middle.  I initially thought it was a bug with the tail graphic, but when I saw it occur in my front-up and straight-up views, I figured it was more than just the tail graphic causing a bug.

CC,

But for me there was an intermittent phenomenon.
Icons were visible then hidden every 2 or 5 sec. It happened with some
enemy planes only and no matter the distance. On my small monitor
where every thing is smaller  :lol it was a bad problem.

Some kind of lag? Gaming the game? New features? Aliens messages?

 :salute

I've seen that occasionally for years... could never see anything that seemed to be associated with it.

Happened to me as well while testing in the DA - wish I had film.  From recollection, it was just past the intersection of the short and long runway, on the short runway (I landed from left to right on the Bish field when viewed from the lake). 

If it's only in the DA then it's of minimal importance, but if it's across the board then it will likely become an issue for many.

I kept losing icons aswell in DA. Not sure about other arenas. I'm using track ir and it seemed mainly when i was looking up. I fly the spit9. They would stay gone the entire time i looked in specific direction/ sometimes 5-6 sec.

+1 on the icon thing but it has always been that way for me. 

I always suspected it had to do with moving  your default head position.  The icons are getting blocked by the canopy frame in the default position even though you are looking from a moved head position?

+1 on the ditch on the runway also.  Dead center on the X.

This I was suspecting being due to some funky, crappy internet connection.  Maybe the front end thought I was somewhere else or still moving?

I based this on being bombed later and blowing up long after the plane had passed.  Never heard the drop either but is probably a sound issue.

I've been noticing this lately when I'm attacking bombers.  It may happen for me in fighters too, not sure.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
