Returning "ol timer" needing some advice

[Mystic2]

Afternoon all.  I was away from the game for a little over a year, and it seems that things have changed ALOT.     I have gotten a new PC and started flying again about 2 weeks ago.  I am having trouble adjusting vid settings to see gv's on the ground from the air. I can see them fire their guns, but can't quite see them.  I know its in one of my settings, but can't for the life of me figure out which one. Also, I was in a panzer last nite, and went to Pos 2, which is the main gun, I could not get it to zoom.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The GV system has seen quite some changes:

- Visibility: GV icons do appear only at ~ 600yards if they are sitting still and twice that range if they are moving. Exception to that is the Fi-156 Storch, which can spot GV at twice that range. Also parking under a tree does effectively hide the icon now.
- Zoom: We got more realistic gunsights now, even with working range scale in German tanks (use C &V). Most tanks do have a fixed zoom setting now, a few (for example Panther) have two fixed zoom settings you can switch between.
- Driving: We got an auto transmission now. Move your tank using W A S D, shift W is full forward, shift D is all stop

Thanx for the quick reply.  Will spend some time in the TA getting it all tweaked.

Somethign to try:  I believe it's Shift+F1, Shift+F2 and Shift+F3 for Short-Long air visual ranges and Shift+F4 for "Ground Visual Range".  When looking for the "dots" of vehicles on the ground at a good distance, welll outside icon range, using the ground visual range mode I find greatly helps increase the distance at which you can spot their "dot" (especialy on my older rig).

This is not new within the last year.

No, it's not. But for a returning player it just might joggle the memory a bit.
