Heli HUD, vehicles objects don't appear

[« R²» HKS]

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time as a heli pilot and I wanted to see if it annoys other and affects others as well.

1st of all let me state I have view distance on 100% and Geometry on high so I should be able to see the max viewable distance right?

Well when flying an attack heli some vehicles and objects I can't see. A guy in a jeep is firing his .50 cal at me. Not only is it annoying you can't hear it hit the heli (another pet hate) so you look down and you have lost half your health, then you see the tracer fire of the .50 cal but can't see the vehicle. I have also tested this out with other objects, not just vehicles.

The radar on the carrier disappears also once you get about 280M from it. The IGLA's also can't be seen until you get very close to them. The one on Dalian at the docks not in a sandbag bunker I also can't see it till I get very close to it.

I would really like to see this fixed. I saw in another patch they said they had fixed this and gave an example of a tanks HUD but they didn't fix this for the attack helis.

Yeah I hate that ****.

Like when they are firing the .50 cal, you can barely see the car, and it is "blinking" if you know what I mean. But when I say "barely" I mean barely. LOL

And yeah, you can't see the AA till you get close.

Sheesh I was starting to think I was the only one affected by this thanks for your confirmation metallicaguitarist, I trust you know what you are talking about.

I can only dream they will fix this and fix it so you can actually hear the .50 cal hitting you before its too late to do anything about it.

I have same problem = now - after my good video card died
often see rounds coming out of fog (or view distance light at me)
hmmm . . . maybe it is NOT us, but these long range shooters are fog off hackers?
eg
yesterday 3 different helo got shot from daqing home base TOW
when none of could even see the buildings

Re: Heli HUD, vehicles objects don't appear

it's really annoying, but I think it has something to do with the fact that the sky is easily rendered while the ground can have 50 things that need to be rendered, which is why you can see the choppers/planes in the sky from much farther than they can see you.

Re: Heli HUD, vehicles objects don't appear

Yeah I can see helis and planes like 700M away but I can't see that pesky jeep firing the .50 cal at me from 200M, only the tracer fire or like mettallica said it flashes on and off, the same with the AA on Dalian.

Re: Heli HUD, vehicles objects don't appear

maybe u got not enough AA turned on? small objects dont render well with little aa. jus like fences, notorious to dissappear until u get nearer or with higher aa. 4x 16x etc.

Re: Heli HUD, vehicles objects don't appear

I wouldn't mind the change, but I'm well adapted to this by now: the moment I see ANY KIND of tracer fire, I look at the radar and if it's not one of ours, out comes my TV to give it a special news bulletin. :)
