Make sure z-buffer and triple-buffer are un-checked in video setup.

The AH video setup that is.

Didn't fix it.

Z Buffer was already disabled.

Tripple was already unchecked (enabled), So I put a check in it, and that didn't fix it either.

I'm running the Hi-res patch, and I have the same problems....disappearing hangars, clipping on gunners, etc.

Not here either Ronni.

1200x1024x32 bit mode here with ATI Rage Maxx and ATI specialty drivers loaded.

Also tested with several other ATI products without problems other than the radio tear problem, which exists with all ATI products.

fwiw;

The con dots showing up like that, I've seen infrequently, in the main and med arena.

The pics of the clipping probs all seem to be the Med terrain?  If so, is there any clipping in the main or other arenas?  It looks like your gunner pics were taken inside some of the hangers, which may contribute to the problem.

In the previous terrain (the one before this beta return), there was a vehicle base that I was always seeing a minor clipping problem.

Antix, do you have the latest drivers for all of the video cards you have been testing this with?  Which system did these last shots come from?

Those last shots are from the Celeron 333 with a STB Velocity 4400 PCI, with the drivers from just before the buyout by 3Dfx. Thats my web server, not really the hot gaming machine, but it runs plenty of other games without issue during our lan games.

I suppose I'm just anal retentive, but this bugs the crap out of me. Flying along watching cons drop behind the hills and still seeing their dots drives me nuts! It just kills the immersion, and I just exit. I can't come down there, but if you're willing to send HT or Pyro over to have a look, I have a guest room!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hi All,
 I've noticed the clipping from bomber gunner positions and occasionaly I see planes through the cockpit instruments (But I still lose the Icons). Never seen them from behind hills etc though

Voodoo 2 (Latest drivers)

Ps You should ask for Ronnie or/and? Yankee to come and help solve your problem <Male chauvenist mode off >  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (I wasn't at the con  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) but I have seen the pictures)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I get this all the time in H2H sometimes main arena too(dot through instruments and terrain)

Always get the dissapperaance of objects close to ground....makes it difficult to hit them:-)

Dont really have a prob with bomber guns though!

This is weird!
I am running a P2 350 64meg RAM and Voodoo3 3000. I downloaded the newest driver for the vid card just before starting out at AH (last week)

Otherwise love the Game....except the viewing system whcih could be smoother(padlock)
hope you welcome constructive criticism???

THanks. SHAFT
