Hey guys, check the update 2.29.0.88, and give your feedback to gaijin !!!
For me it seems quite good at the moment.
Agreed, much better. I’m working so I only quickly tested looking from the runway in an F4E and a Mig-23 but in both instances I could track the low flying jets from the ground from a fair distance unless they flew into a cloud or behind terrain.
Yeah, seems that they finally fixed it! :)
We will see for how long that they decide not to f&/k with it again.
Yep, was flying on Dover earlier and conditions were perfect, and - finally - the spotting was as you’d expect on a clear cloudless day. I don’t think they simply reverted the settings and I think it might be the best it’s been for a long time (forever?). Still difficult seeing planes against certain very - and needlessly - messy backgrounds, but that’s a slightly different issue.
Not bad at all based on the hour or so I spent on Dover. Well done.
So from what i see from a few games lately, the issue of disappear plane is gone (i think) but the weird flickering still happen, when they flickering they become very blurry and hard to spot(still can see them if i focus hard enough).
The far away dot is back but it’s not as big as before.
Looks good now.
Surveillance planes are easy to spot, also furballs and bombers.
You can still have some cover by flying at treetop level over a forest, but it’s not easy mode anymore.
Personally, i haven’t noticed any change for the better since the latest hotfix. I’ve still had multiple air targets just completely disappear while i was actively watching them - even as close as within 500 meters or so. And in my last two matches tonight i was while i was doing CAS, ground targets would literally not render inside my hud until 1km distance - this was on both sinai as a frogfoot and on winter stalingrad as a mig21pfm (wanted to try out the kh66 haha). It was even more odd that when i looked for them outside of my hud they would render as per usual - but as soon as pulled them into my hud they vanish - until im almost crashing into them and then suddenly they appear. This was both convoys and ground battles, and i also encountered the issue previously before the latest hotfix against naval targets.
Definitely the spotting system still needs to be worked on and especially that last bug with ground targets it actually game breaking, as it makes it near impossible to attack them - especially at higher ranks. The only noticeable improvement i noticed while playing this patch was that the artillery pieces render much further away as @Schindibee pointed out earlier so it makes it actually possible to engage them now.
Hi,
Much better now than the recent nerfs. Thanks to all involved.
I did have one plane disappear on me, but could have been my fault.
Well done guys on solve this. Now it is better o/
Well its much better now, although i still have some planes disappearing at close distances when dog figthing
Yes, sometimes they still disappear, especially with clouds in the background.
But much better than before
I’ve not yet had the chance to fly a lot since this was patched (2 Sim EC missions, A-10 and Shar), but I can say the situation has improved considerably: Aircraft are visible from farther away, but not those exaggerated black dots as before Attila, and ground targets are nice and well visible. Also the visual identification of close air contact is very good now, I find…
I like it a lot!

It seems they didn’t find the bug, and they gave up on it.
Like having the spoting distance at 3km made some planes pop in at 600m, they changed it to 15km, so now they pop in at 3km. But spoting is still inconsistent, and you still se people blink.
It’s broken similar to how it was before sons of atila, but at least it’s playable again.
Today in Danemark I had those horrible dots again from far far away … I don’t know if that depends on the map size or wat, but in smaller maps I don’t see them.
Hmmmmmmmm
Every time that I see an update I become concerned that something is moments away from being ruined. Good observations, I will undertake examinations of conditions now following the update of today.
I’ve definitely seen improvements at Long-Range-Spotting. Planes still disappear at close distances though (become invisible).

At least identification is much better than before sons of atila :)

I found the solution for me:
Delete the cache folder. (In your WT directory)
There seems to be some old stuff from previous patches that causes problems with rendering and textures.
I had a problem with ground textures not loading properly, or loading low and hi quality at the same time.
Deleted the cache folder and it solved not only the texture problem, but also fixed the rendering issue with planes and clouds.

I’ve had that texture problem when trying to update my AMD drivers, maybe you found the solution for me aswell. I’ll try now.
