what would you like to see for icons settings:

please list distances only, not opinions. we know some of you hate no icons and some do not. we want to know what kind of distances you would like to see!

Friendly icon--- XXXX (distance)
Enemy icon--- XXXX (distance)

thank you and have a great day!  :D

3 K for Enemy /  6 K for Friendly

or

2 K for Enemy / 4 K for Friendly

or

Leave it like it is currently

or go back to what it was in the beginning  ( which was 3 K for both I believe ,  for most of the time anyways )

2k friendly and 1k or none for enemy
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

10K for both.


No hiding, no picking. You move, counter, move, etc... You can do BFMs all you want, engage disengage, still have full free will. Do whatever you like, but you're not getting sneak kills unless the guy you sneak up on is oblivious, just like in the real war.

I like this.  Having flown quite a bit in real life (172's and mooney's) the lace of SA (situational awareness) is really lacking with any video game.  Sure Track-IR helps, but there is something to be said about having the ability to look around and see EVERYTHING with just a quick glance.  10k would help make up for that tiny window.

I mean, come on, how many accidents would there be in real life if every aircraft out there had only a 20-24 inch window to fly from? :)

Never mind.  Outside the parameters of what Yaeger asked for.

sounds like someone wants xbox settings. not surprised.

maybe to embrace the idea of "simulated realism" and accomodate the visual information that isn't available due to the way the game renders aircraft, perhaps 3000 yards (9000 feet - 1.7 miles) for both?

it's close to realistic "average" visual acuity considering the leeway in actual distance and it's the same setting as used in the fso. it seems to work for most of the players who participate.
