WelshZeCorgi Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Heya. In VR, I'm having difficulty seeing the red flare past a few km. I'm firing @ 10, 8, and 6km and the only time I can see the flare the entire time is 4-5km or less. Anything beyond is impossible cause the missile is functionally invisible. I'm wondering if non-vr users are seeing something similar. In VR, it feels like after 4-5km, the LOD on the flare light cuts out and doesn't render cause I see a sharp and noticeable drop in brightness instead of a smooth dimming of the flare with distance. How far can a normal viggen pilot see the flare? I don't know how realistic the procedure of firing at 10km is if the missile is imperceivable halfway through the attack.

TOViper Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I tested this with the newest update, and I have to say the Rb-05 is not usable for targets that are more than 4km away, I simply cannot see the flare then. Also the smoke makes it harder to see it within the first 4km. edit: flying in VR Edited September 25, 2020 by TOViper Visit https://www.viggen.training ...Viggen... what more can you ask for? my computer: AMD Ryzen 5600G 4.4 GHz | NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB | 32 GB 3.2 GHz DDR4 DUAL | SSD 980 256 GB SYS + SSD 2TB DCS | TM Warthog Stick + Throttle + TRP | Rift CV1
hilmerby Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Using TrackIR and no problem to see that flare after the latest update to Open Beta.
DarkStar79 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 same problem here in VR. But i feel like the smoke is the biggest problem now. Very hard to steer on target cause of the smoke.
WelshZeCorgi Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 I think they updated the flare 2 updates back, I think it's better, still unable to see it in the training mission in VR past 4-5 km
TLTeo Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 I also don't have a problem seeing the flare (no VR). I usually don't shoot from very far away though (maybe 6 ish km?), because I find it tough to hit targets from too far.
WelshZeCorgi Posted November 13, 2020 Author Posted November 13, 2020 It might be that 10km is the Max range with it only being true in low light or nighttime environments, and that daytime is more towards 6-5km. But if true, the training mission should state that.
Northstar98 Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 On current stable, 2D, no head tracking, I can see the flare absolutely fine (much better than the last time), I'm not sure about the range, so I'll do some testing.

Machalot Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 But bear in mind though, I am using a 1080p 15.6" display. Are you playing on an iPad? :lol: "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."
