I have been having issues spotting aircraft in VR. I already have heard from a bunch of players that they put their VR away and use only trackir for multiplayer because of the same reason. Spotting aircraft is nearly impossible unless they are a target flying with white or orange sunlit sky in the background. Spare me the comments of how you have seen targets 30 miles out and before monitor players, I have too on RARE lighting occasions. There must be some improvement so VR players aren't severely handicapped. I also don't know if the view distance in settings works properly because even contrails don't show up until you are really close. It is weird though because if you tap VR zoom for 1/10 of a second (before it even zooms), then further things appear for that instant (much larger than a pixel so it isn't screen door effect). I'd be open to suggestions for settings, but I have a feeling that this requires more than I can change on the user end. My computer is not lacking, I'll include my specs below.
Specs:
i7-8700k
32 gb of 3000mhz ram
