Read the thread.  They are so delusional it isn't even worth my time of posting my preference.

Pity too, the current setup looks fun if it weren't spoiled by simulating pilots with eyesight so bad they wouldn't be allowed to get a drivers license.

Which creates an effect opposite of reality.  In reality altitude was life, in the AvA altitude is death as they can easily see you and you cannot see them, granted if you have a lot of altitude they cannot get you either.  Further, the mixed environment makes it harder to spot the iconless guys hanging out under 500'.

You guys are mistaken. The current set up has low enemy icon range set at 0.

The icons do not disappear below a certain level.

Currently both friendly and enemy icons ranges are set at 6500 feet or 2.4K yards.

This is true, Found myself in this scituation many times yeaterday afternoon. Once the low con gets behind you there is little chance of escape.


Jimson, yesterday icons were 1.5K and off under 500ft.

That is not how I set the arena up and it is not how it is currently set.

I have no explanation for how it could have gotten that way.

I understand.

I just don't know how enemy icons are disappearing low when I never had them set to do that.
