About vanishing icons
« on: July 28, 2010, 01:43:10 AM »
It could be a funny thing for who likes it.

To like or not ?

That's not the problem I think.

For me, all objects are generally very small (at d600 - d400 a plane is about 5 millimeters from wing to wing) and with no icon i have a lots of difficulties to follow a plane changing views.

This becomes more complicated when the fight is low on the deck cause background colours.

Now Icons vanishing randomly and intermittent.
I don't know why they disappear always when a con goes behind my plane!

Also it is a bad thing to have a mix of no plane with icon and  plane with no icon.

Yestarday, OBX told me "You have an La/ on your tail" - ty OBX - but i cannot saw it because
behind me there were OBX with his icon, and also 3 others cons with their icons and the la7 ad d400
on the deck were practically hidden by all this.

So i switched to no enemy icons but it was difficult to not bored other players with no right check six.

If this is a new feature, then it would be nice to have it as an option.

On the deck the icons do become hidded because they are underneath the plane. If they are vanishing at other alts, try filming and review what happened. If somehting is wrong send the film to HTC. You can also change the size of the icons Lulu, play with that and see if it helps.

You can?  What controls it?

On the deck means near but not so near that icon becomes hidden.
We were abot 200 or 500 feets on the deck.

Change icon size!

Zack nailed it.

The icons aren't vanishing because the enemy's on the deck, I just had this happen repeatedly in a dogfight at about 5K.  Also, I have noticed this before the last update (but only with enemy bombers).   Now I've seen it a lot more frequently, and with fighters too.

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.
