AFP players cannot see

So really the ability of the sight is also highly related to the cockpit of the plane and vehicle?

  Also meaning if its pitched up in a climb, anything under the nose isn't seen?

If it's doing LOS checks for every player in the game...

Could it do LOS radar?  Actual more realistic NOE?

FWIW, it seems to me that the 7.5 mile range for "seen contacts" is too far.  We can scan through views while watching the clipboard and "see" the enemy without ever seeing the dot.  There was some discussion of requiring "reporting" the seen contact with a button press (or something).  Maybe that, or just reduce the "seen contact" range to icon range as it was before the recent changes.

( Some players can see dots way before I do.  Screen resolution?  Ancient eyes? )

In any case, I think the recent changes are definite improvements.   :aok

I think it's a super 360 degree vision with anything in that range being displayed on dar now..

I think that's too much unless all contacts are a gray color until they are inside icon range and can be positively identified as friend or foe..

If they are friend, they are displayed everywhere all the time.

Which isn't accurate imo...

Should be a 3rd color icon as unrecognized until it is..

And the super vision icons range should be corrected imo too..

We've got the big red and green bars..how much more is needed..

FFS we don’t need more colors.

The updates were a nice improvement. Just leave it.
