LColony_Kong Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 The scaling changes made some time ago have made the spotting in game much better, but much less so at resolutions that are not 1080p. I play on a 1440p monitor. When I scale down to 1080p, contacts are much easier to spot because the games scaling multipliers appear to be optimized for 1080p resolution. However this means I cannot enjoy the game at my native resolution. There is a thread in the complaints section where many other people are having this same problem. Can we please get a fix for this? I could be wrong but I would think all this would require would be a multiplier change to make it proportional at higher resolutions such as 4k or 1440p. I know the spotting subject has been gone over many many times but this is not a request to make any fundamental changes to the general system, only to take a look at how the system is working at higher resolutions, specifically 1440p and 4k. @Jason_Williams 4
=WoVi=Gwynblade Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 I can agree with this. Testing it on my own 32" 1440p monitor, it is night and day in terms of spotting contacts if I drop resolution down to 1080P, if I had to put a number to it I would say they seem to be at least twice as big at distance, if not a little bit more. And in 1440P, I've literally watched a plane I was trying to follow from a couple kilometers back shrink down to the point of being more or less invisible, could just barely see the prop disk at that point with maximum zoom. 1
Bemused Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Just came on to search for something like this. I often ground attack and no matter how hard my wing-man and I look we can rarely see anyone above the target. As soon as we attack our tracers give us away and we are hopped on. Time and again. I know there was uproar when they implemented a change in spotting some time ago that made targets too visible but I would prefer it. If you take the time to carefully scan a pure blue sky you should be able to pick out circling aircraft.
VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 I usually fly 4K and cannot spot aircraft as well as people using HD. Have proved this to myself by changing the graphic settings. Is it a huge difference? No, but it's subjective. I can still see aircraft at 9km+ in 4k but not as good as with HD. I won't change it down to HD though as 4K is just too pretty in all other aspects. Should it be a top priority for the devs to change? I think they have bigger fish to fry. Maybe someday...
CountZero Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 In MP if you wont to be able to see enemy before he see you your only option is lower resolution or buy bigger TV
