Disappearence of crew & cockpit framing in AI planes

[Blitzen]

In at least 4 missions usually with two seater planes I've noticed my AI wingman who are relatively close by have had their crew & sliding portions of their canopies completely disappear & stay that way until I get in very close.If I go to a view them directly option they are fully visible .What's going on & is there a way to prevent it?

Interesting. If you are familiar with the skin viewer, it does not display the canopy or pilots either, using a simplified model (at least it looks like it).

I wonder if this is a performance optimization trick they are using.

 

What graphics settings are you using?

All up to max and back...It doesn't seem to matter.this only occurs with VR not using Track IR.

Probably won't help with your issue, but just in case it's connected, I get the disappearing canopy parts, crew and external bombs when replaying a movie in VR.  I found that if I press "L-Alt F1" for Head Unlinked Cockpit, the bombs and other stuff magically reappear.  Then "Ctrl F1" makes them disappear again.
