Zoom and objects appearance

[Youtch]

I am having doubts regarding the different zoom levels and objects appearance.

 

From times to times, ground objects which do no appear in normal view then suddenly appear in zoom, to disappear again without zoom. It is kind of weird, but could have its own logic.

 

What strikes me is object appearing in normal view and first zoom and then disappearing if using max zoom. This happens to several types of objects but it is more obvious with the some position of gun and gunners disappearing from the new normamdy boats when doing max zoom, and appearing again at minimum zoom.

 

Is there something wrong with the way i might have configured zoom?

 

I play in VR, not sure what happens on flat screen.

Hello mate, I also have virtual reality, hpreverbG2, and many objects even pilots in their cockpit and the bombs of the planes even gunners hoods appear and disappear to me according to some angles, zoom.. Nor do I understand that we must have evil or that it is happening.

Its a real bugger when planes stop rendering  for a few seconds. Happens often. And not just at great distances.

Is it some issue with VR only or the same happens on flat screen?

 

Is it only a problem with max zoom? The minimum zoom level does not seem to affect objects appearance.

HMD Odyssey Plus. Same problem without zoom, but only with trenches and sandbags, so it is very difficult to fly attack missions.

And sometimes bombs and end parts of wings also disappear with max zoom.

I have not been able to find a pattern.  Ships disappear and reappear at various distance.  Planes do the same. Buildings as well.  I have never tried flat screen to see though.  I can say I have messed with every setting there is to try to fix it.

I think some of this may be caused by Level Of Distance modeling where less detailed versions of a model are activated at distances to save resources. You'll see that on the airfields where static fuel trucks become nondescript wedges at a distance. So I'll assume some objects may not have LOD models.

 

I also noticed when I was setting up my Reverb G2 in Windows that scaling seemed to make a difference. I moved a slider hoping to improve performance and when I tested in the Achtung Spitfire campaign the airfield objects changed LOD or disappeared quickly in the mission "Birdseye View" intro segment. So I'll venture a setting tied to performance might be a factor.

 

These are just guesses on my part.

For what it's worth, it happens with tracking too, most regularly ships in my case.

Yea this happens its 'normal'.

Different maps have different quirks. 

 

On Kuban I get crazy shimmering 
On Stalingrad all buildings just stop rendering at some point
On Rhineland I get massive pop in over big cities
