Title: icons in CT
Post by: Zanth on August 16, 2003, 05:12:54 PM

...are brutal on old eyes.   The short icons are a cool idea but AH (1) graphics are not up to it.  I really cant see worth a damn in CT and it takes away from an otherwise interesting diversion.

You can adjust the size and color of the icons in AH.  I hav'nt done it myself, but I think the help files can stear you the right way.

The icons work well for me, perhaps your monitor is a bit wierd?

I see the icons fine. I meant to say I have a hard time seeing the planes outside of icon range against the terrain (they pretty much dissappear).

They're SUPPOSED to disapear against the terrain. That's why "going low" was an effective evasive tactic in WWII.  Unarmed planes typically flew very low in order to avoid detection.

In AH/WB flying low is suicide.
