Title: Disappearing icons
Post by: Chalenge on October 27, 2009, 10:27:52 PM

I was VH sitting a vbase when a 190 was zooming around and his icon was disappearing off and on and off and on... I dont know if the smoke was causing that or if it was connection related so I thought I should report it.

I also see reflections at odd angles (where reflections logically should not beseen at those angles) when around smoke. It was gone before I could take a screenshot and at the time I was in the tower so I dont have an example except the troops icons reflecting as I already reported.

Don't know if this is related in cause, but I experienced something similar with icons.

I noticed in a cockpit view, if you move your 'eye' to a spot at the limits of some obstruction, (say just inside some angle iron or whatever) sometimes you can see "through" the obstruction and see the sky and cons, but you won't see the icons.  Move your 'eye' outside the obstruction, and the icons return.  I noticed this flying the F4U-1 and setting up my head positions.

Could it be related to your head position inside the vehicle Chalenge?

I dont think so since I was seeing the same thing from a Wirble and from 'god view.'

I also noticed this. Icons would pop in/out randomly at ranges well below the max. icon range.
