Red icons disappearing

[RufusLeaking]

Occasionally, red icons will disappear and reappear seemingly randomly.

I'm talking well within 6k, and not bomber drones that block the icon. And at high enough altitude.

It makes the game unplayable.

What plane are you in?  If you're in a bomber, what gun positions, etc.

Latest case, I was in a Ki-43, and the disappearing icons were Spit 9s, P-38s, and F-4Us.

It was over a horded field, so a lot of traffic. But, it doesn't happen every time. It seems to be persistent during a given session.

I have noticed this before. The other day i was following some bombers and was 3.5k away and the icon kept flicking on and off. What i think i noticed was there are some spots in the glass right near the posts that block the view of the icon even though the plane is still visible. Might be a graphics card thing, might be a skins issue, Might be a modeling thing. Not sure. This is just what i noticed.

Had the same thing happen to me yesterday in LW, flying an LA5, kept loosing the red Icons, video card is an AMD Radeon HD6670.

I does it when attacking LANCS B17 and B26 in 109s and 190s. Usually in the side glass

Happens to me regularly in 109s and 190s, I just thought I was parallel to them or something, didn't consider it might be a bug. I'll have to watch from other planes and see if it's only just 109/190s for me.

Well, first I have to admit I almost exclusively fly the 109 and 190s, and I have been noticing this bug as well! I thought maybe I somehow turned icons off when chasing someone the other day, but then I remembered that requires me pressing two very well spaced buttons on my keyboard, and the icon reappeared shortly after. I was chasing a F4U at the time I last recall this bug

That's where i have noticed it the most, when flying the 109s and 190s. Mostly near the support structure for the side window.

Please provide screen shots of any and all disappearing icons.  So far, none of this is helpful to me.

I think I have it recording inflight, give me a day or so.

I'll try to catch a shot or two. No guarantees.

It happens on and off. Not a regular blinking pattern, but suddenly on, suddenly off.

Also, it seems to happen only in the Ki-43 for me.

There are three B-17s in this image taken from the Forward Up view in an A-20.

I've had the same view problem in an A20 with an Intel P3+Gforce2 and Intel P4+Radeon 9800 and an Intel i7 2600k+AMD Radeon 6850 HD

The other views are fine, but in this combination, it affects every plane icon you should be seeing on your screen.

The image is cropped to make sure it's less then the upload max.

You don't even need to launch the A20 off the runway. Set all six drones as a large bomber (so you can see where the icons should be) and hit the forward up view to watch the icons disappear.
