Slowed refresh of radar
« on: October 21, 2026, 01:12:13 PM »
With the radar updating more slowly, I noticed that the mouse-over friendlies to show type was not working consistently.  Upon further investigation, I moved the mouse to where the friendly was now, not where it was showing on the clipboard, and it showed their name and type.  The mouse-over is actually using their current position, not what's showing on clipboard dar.

Simple actually

Where you are hovering that plane is no longer there, you're no longer over it. You're over where it was. It's only there for seconds.

Good example of why change of settings can cause other issues.

It's been adjusted downwards to 20 secs.

Issue was always there, just more pronounced now.
Fixed for next patch.

Wasn’t a big issue for me. I’m not sure the dust has settled in timing.

I didn't really see anything wrong with the radar in the first place.  Why the change?

Before the change you knew were everyone was instantly. with the delay it added back a bit of the mystery and you have to pay attention to your surroundings a bit more, less time with the clipboard open in front of you.

What about all of us who don’t want that? I play for an hour a night. Where is this rule you can’t have the clipboard open?

It was fine the way it was.

Getting ganged gets old fast, people log. With this singles and winged pairs have a bit more of a chance to have a fight BEFORE the gang shows up. I think it will help players hang in there longer and so help numbers. It may make it a bit tougher for guys like you to find action quick, but in the long run I think it will help those who want to hang around a couple hours or more.

What are guys like me? I’ve never complained about being able to find action.

I was ganged up on a bunch of times last night. The radar didn’t do anything about it.

Nothing needed to change. It’s a video game not 1945.

Sounds like you might have been flying for the Luftwaffe in 1945. I read somewhere that they got ganged up on a bunch in 1945. :old:
