Can't See Distant Dots

[Gooss]

Thanks for the responses. Morfiend, we talked about object detail sliders not resolution.  I'll try a lower resolution.

When I get into MA, I'll see how settings changes impact fps and the appearance of dots.

Imadot and Bluberry, thanks, too.

The concurrent silliness is a delightful unintended consequence.

HONK!

Last night in FSO, squaddies were able to see dots in the distance far better than I.  Why?  Settings?  

  I, on the other hand, see dots far more often than my team mates.

(Gotta get that monitor cleaned.)

Did you ask your squaddies what resolution they are using?  I think you will find that players that use slightly lower resolution sizes will see the dots first.

  I used to run my 24 inch widescreen at 1240x1024 and could see the dots first,when I ran at native,1920x1200,I would be one of the last to see the dots in the distance.

  The best thing is to test it at different settings,both AA and resolution and see what works best for you! There's so many variables it's difficult to say what will work best for you,however you could try hooking up to a TV type monitor with a much larger pixel size and then you'll see the dots a long distance off!

   YMMV.

«hook to 60 inch tv can see contacts far outside of icon range . Also at the right distance it appears like i am sitting in the cockpit.
