will take pictures and post them when i get back home.
but the hash marks are inside the turret still, for the tiger and the T-34.
The Sherman when you take and use the [ ] keys it barely moves maybe 1/8th of an inch.
before they upgrade these tanks use to be ok but since the upgrade and the first bug these tanks where never fixed.

(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/cphantom2002/ahss21.jpg)
this is a panzer normal vis the tiger vis is the same as the panzer same problems
-
Hmmm.. I can reproduce your T34 problem if I get closer to the gunsight using the arrow key. Moving the head back and all is fine again.
However, by no means I am able to get the kind of view you have in Panzer... :noid
What is your screen resolution when playing Ah2?

Have you tried normal view and pressing the "home" key first?

yes i understand what you are saying but by doing that you do not get your max range out of your tanks. by holding the up arrow you are able to aim at ranges up to 6k but mine are not able to do that.
my sherman will not even move when i hold the up arrow. it will bearly shoot 4k

could it be a corupted file?????

I have this same issue. res = 1280x1024

thank god it aint only me plus i just got done testing this with my squadies all of them have this problem.
some kind of answer would be nice next patch, we are working on it, something so i at lest know its being delt with. i sent emails everything i could and still no answeres. :confused:
-
I have the same problem. t-34 and sherman sights are crap since the last fix, the sherman had the best view before the last fix. have not noticed a major loss in the panzer tho?
-
Have you tried using the F8 key as opposed to the arrow keys, or am I suggesting something that I didn't catch? I use the F8 key to change views so that I can get sufficient range out of the main gun. Is it possible that when in a particular mode after changing your view, F10 was hit and saved it as the default? Just a suggestion.

you could be right but by hitting the home key then F10 again saves it back in the default position. great job on trying to isolate the problem:aok

ok i would like to know what all of your video cards are. i am being told that it could be my video card but not sure yet i have to send my info to Skuzzy.
I just want to see how many diffrent video cards are out there that have this problem
I have RADEON 9800 PRO
ow and btw are these pictures missed up for any of you. Skuzzy said he cant see them they come out diffrent for him. just wondering so i can repost them.

Radeon 9600/9700 mobile.

I've had this happen before...
Try going to your HTC/Aces High II/settings/planes folder and delete the .hps file for every tank you're having trouble with. See if that resets your views to where they are usable.
.hps files are where your head positions are stored for each plane.
-
when you zoom fully in then press the down arrow key this happens

i have completly deleted the HTC and reinstalled even better i have reinstalled Windows and redownloaded Aces High so this does not do it. thanks for trying tho

I have backe dout of this. I just cannot figure out how to even try to duplicate this and it still makes no sense to me.
I renamed the thread so the dev guys can look at it.
-
That is how my sights appear at slightly more than default zoom. Zooming in completely gives me an unrestricted FOV, no masking by the barrel/turret or anything. No head position adjustments seemed to make it stick zoomed out like that.
Is it just in tanks that you are unable to zoom completely in? What about aircraft, buff turrets, and field guns?

only tanks

i will get a few other people that are having the same problem post their pictures. see for i am not the only one. there are others a lot of them too.

i cant seem to get that to happen with me either.
heres a tiger, i go to the gun sight and it looks like this:
(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8702/sight1fk4.th.jpg) (http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sight1fk4.jpg)
at this point i cant use the bracket keys only the arrow up/down will do anything, then i hit the "Z" key and then use the bracket keys to fully zoom in

at this point the arrow keys only move the hash marks in or out

i didnt think anyone would want to do this. so Roy you saying we have to live with these issues.
i dont see why yall cant just make everyone download all the tank sites again. you know kind of like yall did when the tank sites first got screwed up. this is the first time yall have said screw it we cant fix it.
why sell something that is broke?
it could be something in the game its self.
tell me what you want me to do and i will do it for you.

In fairness, it's not 'broke' if you are the only guy with the problem. Seems more like a 'perfect storm' of equipment issues/incompatibility on your end

have you even read the post there are more then me. a few have posted. one other has posted pictures. try reading the post.
if your telling me a brand new computer is having hardware issues then your nuts.
-
I just rechecked my sites and it appears that for some reason the problem has resolved itself EXCEPT for smoke rounds in the panzer. The scale still goes down into the black part of the site and no amount of moving around fixes it and maintains the sites functionality.

brand new computers are the worst for problems. Vista will cause all kinds of issues, and OEM stuff out of Dell and such has there own issues. The only good new computer is something either you built, or hire to have built out a computer shop.
My computer is almost 2 years old and I don't have a problem with my sites.
so in my opinion, your nuts if you think just because you have a new computer it can't be something in your box, not saying that it is, just saying :rolleyes:
-
ahhhh its not running vista. it was using the sites ok but not anymore.
i can understand if it was only me having these problems but its not. other people are having this problem.
-
If the problem is hash marks being in the black part, I've had that forever. I thought it was normal.
I'll try and see if I find a fix on my end.
If the problem is [ ] keys not doing anything, make sure you press zoom in after pressing Z, and if that doesn't work, press Z again and then try it. In the past I've somehow managed to zoom out while zoom was un-toggled, only to press Z and not get any zoom.
-
good luck moot. thanks for trying too. i have tried alot of things and still have not found anything.

I didnt say the brand-new computer had 'issues' I DID say that it looks like a certain combination of equipment makes for this problem (and getting snippy with HT & company isn't best road to success) They always seem to figger out any problem eventually

this is all my fault this got blown up. i did not know that dev stood for development crew.
so i thought that we where being blown off (only because i didnt know dev was development crew).
-
still here with you Kilz, i am not set up to send you pic.s on this forum but yes i still have the same issues in the t-34 and sherman in order for the others to understand, they may not have zoomed all the way in with the up arrows after every thing else has been set up and locked with f-10 then f-10 again to lock in the best view.
from what i can tell not that many players even know how to do this so they dont see the diff. from before. i too have reloaded the game on my computer and still have the same issue's but i have had this computer since before the last update so i know it is not at my end , the veiw ability has changed! this is one reason i never use the sherman! while some people dont see the problem with the sherman, they have never seen the veiw at its full potential! i would think that the developers have tho and could go back too before they changed it to see what it was like before and adjust it some how. i dont know for sure that they would have the older version of the game to judge by but i bet they have one somewhere!

Nothing that i can think of. Though i did have half my RAM go bad, so I've had to drop my graphics usage a bit. Less ground detail and what not. I also believe that i changed the preloading of the skins or something. To be honest i don't really know.

cc bro thanks for the effort

Kilz, after reading this thread for the 1000th time, I noticed a minor difference between the way you're running GVs and the way I am. I use the same mode for planes and GVs. I know there was a reason I do this, but I honestly can't remember what it was.
Try un-checking "Auto select mode at start of flight" in your controller setup and use Mode 1 for both GVs and Planes. See if that changes anything.

cc bro will give that a try

come to find out the auto was not selected. so i selected it and still nothing.
so i played with it for a second. took and fired a shot at 800 and then in normal view i took and held my down arrow to make the site normal and i had to range that 800 mark shot at 24 marker. dont know if this info is helpful or not.
-
Well hell, now I understand why people are murdering me from ranges where I couldn't see anything, and why peoeple where telling me that the Ammo type was shown on the gunsight....I thought they could read that tiny arsed text
-
I am also having problems with the Tiger, T-34, and Sherman. My sites in the Sherman dont go into the black part out of the bore site but when I use my arrow key to range, it only ranges about 800. The Tiger with AP I can see all the way up to the 2400 mark the rest of the sites fall under the bore site. The Tiger with HE I can only range 2000. I can no longer use T-34 due to this problem. I have trouble ranging 2000 with AP, if I am lucky. This does happen to alot more then just Kilz fellas it is a major problem and is not the computers that is the issue. This took place the first day of the patch , the most noticed was the Panzer HE would be all the way to right of the bore site, they fixed that but nothing else. I have not posted sooner because I thought it would be fixed with next patch but it is not sounding like that going to happen.

lol glad too help:aok
-
i just spotted this the other night, seems its just in the T-34 tho.
-
The tank site is only meant to be used from the default head position. Your screenshots appear to have the head position moved forward from the default position.
If you're trying to use the arrow keys to align your shots in the tank, that won't work.
-
:huh
when im in a tank and i jump to the bore site, hit the down arrow key to bring the range marks all the way in, then hit the Z key and then use the bracket keys to zoom in or out or to change the field of view.
-
Using the zoom is fine. If you use the down arrow to change your head position, you'll just be making the range markers inaccurate.
-
Pyro,
Inaccurate in distance maybe, but once you fire, the markers are just as useful for bracketing a target regardless.
This is more about how the sites are used, not about if they are accurate in distance.

Pyro i get what your saying but what i am having an issue with is, it never use to do this, and its not happening to everyone.
for example with a sherman some people can use the marks to range 5-6k with mine i cant range past 3k if i am lucky.
