Dynamic Icons

[SCG_Kimi]

Simple idea.

 

Dynamic icons server decided that show a small blue or red blip over a plane if you are closer than 300-500 meters. This prevents more and more FF incidents unnecessary bans on servers, rules out trolls and help with IDing. If the dots are small you still have to Look for contact since it won’t be a dead give away but once eyes on you can merge meetup or pass and it will help you IDing. Right now its for some extremely hard to look for decals if you’re inexperienced.

 

greetings Kimi.

To clarify Kimi's OP. There are a few of us on the Finnish Virtual Pilot server who have been considering the possibility of adding small, unintrusive tags (i.e, no name, just a small dot or square) to both friendly and enemy aircraft at a close distance (e.g, under 500m or so.)

The idea behind this, is that the human eye in a normal environment could easily pick out a nearby moving aircraft above a town or forest for example, however in-game visibility is restricted by screen resolution, which is obviously massively lower than what the human eye would naturally pick up. This then would be a means of simulating being a pilot who has 20/20 vision, rather than playing a simulator where the player is flying a simulated aircraft - if that makes sense.

If you could make some options for servers so that they could change the size and distance that these tags appeared at, that would help test out gameplay with these settings, and see if they improve gameplay.

Cheers!

At 300-500 yards it’s very easy to ID a plane. Why do you need icons at this range?
