cant see gvs from the air
« on: September 01, 2009, 10:55:21 PM »
i have only noticed this with this last patch. i fly to a vbase looking for gvs to kill and i cant see them. i see the rounds being fired at me by Flakers but i cant see their ICON nor their GV untill i get 1.5k from them then i get ICON and the GV however this is to late as the osti and WW will have you killed bythe time you drop.

i do have all my settings maxed and i get great frame rates this is the only problem i am having so far. thanks in advance for any help :salute

They did. Icon range is now 1.5k.

Doesnt matter to me. I dont start shooting until Im 200 away.

Actually i think it always was 1.5 but the new terrain hides the GVs better.

i understand the icon part. but i dont remember reading that you cant see a GV it self untill you are 1.5. for me its like the ground grew tracer rounds. its like tracer rounds just pop out of the ground. nothing there but tracer rounds

I can see the GV especially if they have the wrong skin for the terrain, or if it's moving.  The icon only at 1.5k though

You can try Shift-F4 to go into Ground Vis mode.  Or you can try changing the ground detail slider in the graphics options.  HTC changed that a patch or two ago to allow full ground mode vis from the air.
