Some vehicle / object disappear at far distance on Chopper / jet HUD

[namezero]

Help needed.

Taking map Dragon Valley 16 as example:

http://wiki.bf2s.com/maps/battlefield-2/dragon-valley

Steps:
-----------
Start a local/LAN multiplayer server, spawn as USMC on Wood Yard.
Take and fly the chopper to Hill Village
Hoover chopper at between 70 to 100m attitude
Look back at the garage that hosts the tank and APC.

On my system I can see the tank, but I cannot see the APC. Similar stuff happens to other objects in Wood Yard at vary distances (e.g. the Humvee).

If I fly slowly back toward Wood Yard, at about 150m away from Wood Yard Flag I can see the APC again. However that really hampers me as a n00b gunner. Chopper pilot always yell at me, "you can't see the AA/Tank/chopper/whatever?"

My system spec:
CPU: AMD64 3200+
GPU: 7800GT, tried with Nvidia ForceWare driver 93.71, 93.81, 94.20
RAM: 2GB
Motherboard: Asus A8N-E
Space left on C: 8GB
BF2 installed on default path
Punkbuster updated manually already as we speak

My BF2 in game video setting:

Sorry I forgot to mention my BF2 video setting.

Geometory HIGH
Texture HIGH
Effect HIGH
Terrain HIGH

Lighting Quality Low
Dynamic Lighting Low
Dynamic Shadow OFF
Texture Filter Quality Medium
Antialiasing 2x
View Distance 100%


For the "missing" APC, it doesn't matter if it's near the crosshair or not. If it's far enough it will just vapourized, while the tank that's right next to APC still shows up no problem..

Any of you experienced similar problem? Any possible solutions? Thank you.

hmm try setting texture filter quality to high. that mite help.

and if it is really a problem, i think u can try downloading RivaTuner and then using that to set ur LOD to some negative values, which will allow u to see far away things more detailed meaning the apc should still be in sight as u move far from it

I have this too so as others. I don't know if everyone has it though. I have the same problem with seeing the Chinese J-10 and Z-10 on the runway and helipad ( also have this on others maps though ).

Try setting terrain to low and see if it helps it helps me but damn it is ugly.

I also have already made a thread about this.

SPECS:
Nvidia Asus 7600GT
RAM: 2048 Mb
HD: 2X160GB SATA RAID 0

Will try the suggested settings. Thanks for reply. Will post results later on this weekend.

Also I'm reading the thread made by Komet. My problem is a bit different, but as annoying as yours. For your case both your chopper and jet on the ground "pops up" at the same time. For my case, tank is always there, but the APC decides to hide at some distance.

Yeah but take a look at the tank at the flag
