can we please put VR back to how it was with distant planes showing as a black blob...its very lonely in VR now,

 

can we also not have planes become invisible in VR when against clouds in zoomed in view,

 

and can we have a button to turn cockpit mirrors of completely if we are struggling with fps in large battles in EC? thankyou and keep up the good work.

This is an issue with planes in general and always has been for me (have to run lower end of quality settings) planes render fine zoomed out but when you zoom in suddenly the cloud 20km behind them obscures them completely.

 

Would be great to have a fix though

Is gaijin aware that the fuel bug is still commonly happening? They claimed to have fixed it IIRC, but I've been getting it every couple of games, every time I reload the game and every time I select a new plane.

My god, what has happened to the zoom in VR? I use a G2 and it’s like I’m inside a giant plane. This is too weird. The magnification must have changed although I don’t remember reading about it in any changelog. Anyone else think it’s too much?

Fuel selection is still broken. Every game you have to change the fuel selection to something else, and then change it back to what you actually want/what you had originally selected. Otherwise it just gives you a random fuel amount (usually minimum, but sometimes maximum) Had this occur in the Spitfire Mk2a Venture. Spitfire F MK XIVc and the Phantom FGR2. 

In Addition to that, Mig-23s are still immune to radar guided missiles. Head on, with PD in the FGR2, missile will never lock on. against anything else, it would instantly lock on and I would score an easy kill with the Skyflash missiles, but vs a Mig-23, they dont lock on. They never have, many people have reported the same issue with multiple different aircraft, using multiple different missile systems. The Mig-23 has a very annoying bug that many hoped to have been fixed in this update. Some have reported that the Mig-27 may have the same bug, but I have not yet encountered it.
