Has something changed with regards to spotting other AC in VR?

Hi all,

 

I have a rift CV1, a GTX1070 and run with PD 1.3 MSAA X2.

 

I have been flying this way for more than a year, and I only fly VR.

 

Once the F14 released I played with a lot of friends, both in the front seat and the back seat. All my teammates fly on different monitors I am the only one in VR.

 

I find that usually I had easier to pick out targets than them, especially in the backseat not the F14, I had to guide the pilot in the target as they seemed to loose sight really easily.

Of course seeing other aircraft was never easy, identifying them was almost impossible until very close range (<0.5nm). But I feel it was very doable to keep visuals in the WVR arena (<5nm)

 

However, yesterday I tried a few run of the F14 instant action "constant peg gen3".

And for me something changed: I couldn't spot a single aircraft until extremely close range(<1nm)

 

I ran the mission there or four times before even realizing they were two mig23 !

 

At the start of the mission the mig23 fire almost immediately (about 12nm), I can see the plume of the missile, and barely the smoke from the mig23 engine, as soon as I start to notch, even though I am padlocked on the smoke, I loose sight within 5secs.

 

Once I merge with the mig23 (if I even see it and It doesn't just appears behind me!), I stay padlocked on them in a very close fight. And as soon as they are above me they just disappear against the blue sky ! Like really disappear, I am zoomed in, they are in the center of my view, I see them a few pixels wide, and then, they just .... Disappear, at once, I just see a uniform blue sky ?!

 

I can't pinpoint when it changed exactly, but am I the only one ?? I feel like sunddenly it as changed for the worst and it is borderline unplayable, whereas before it was difficult but still doable.

I know this subject has been done to death. I don't want to dive in endless discussions. But could someone sanity check me ? I really don't know if something changed or I am seeing things

Hi

 

nothing has changed regarding spotting as far as I am aware.

 

I have not noticed any issues myself
