Great map, but me and the rest of the guys I flew with last night all had similar problems with icons going out, particularly when passing through a cloud.  I mean, it didn't make us any less deadly of course ;) just friend or foe recognition got a little interesting at times.

We have sent some film to Hitech, hopefully he'll figure what is wrong and correct it fairly soon.

Would love to see trains along with truck, ship and c-47 convoys. Give new guys something they can go after instead of being fodder constantly.

I found a train tonight, and it was glorious!   Look for tracks running to strat targets, except the City.

Anyone know why there’s a constant low level cloud layer across the entire map?

Was this part of an update?
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Three months later, and the map is still not fixed.

Makes the game far less playable for bomber pilots. I ditched and logged off NorthCo for same reason.

I also had the icon issue again on Tuesday night. 3/28
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

yea, someone said they flew through clouds at 21k and lost icons. Makes sense as I've been topping out at 15k and it has been cons above me each time that had no icons.

It's a feature not a defect

I know I've talked to JimmyD3 about this, and he had determined it was caused by a type of cloud layer that was above its rated altitude, or something like that.  IIRC, he has fixed the map and resubmitted, so I think its just up to Hitech to recompile/rebuild the map - though that may be more work than it sounds like it is.  He also may need a reminder? 

My advice is to exploit the heck out of this feature while you can.  It's been solved and will be going away at some point and probably will be missed by a few!   :bolt:
