[ALREADY REPORTED]KC-135 MPRS Vanishing

[Mars Exulte]

Approaching a KC-135MPRS in VR, I could see it at 25nm as a faint dot all through approach until getting much closer. At 4nm the aircraft disappeared from view as well. At 2.5nm I realised I could see the smoke trail from the engines, but not the aircraft. At 1.6nm the aircraft began rendering again. Offhand, I would say there is a LoD issue, at least in VR.

I just saw the other thread, sorry for doubling up

I hope someone reported the visibility of position lights and beacons. I was taking gas from S3 at night without NVG. I could not see anything until .3 nm. All the lights were on except the basket and I guess the strobe was turned off.
