-ZigZag- Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Hi everyone! After new 2.9 size of enemy planes have become very small (and markers too). It's really hard to fight. How to fix it? My screen resolution 4k. P.S. I dont know why, but I can't find autoexec.cfg in \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\. Probably it will help to turn off new 'spotting dots' if it is the main cause of my problems
PeevishMonkey Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) As for warbirds, at distance 2km I see switch from more or less normal LOD to BIG BLACK DOT It looks awful... Edited October 20, 2023 by PeevishMonkey 2

deathhoneybadger Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Does anyone have a file to revert the spotting "FIX", I've created a file and it just does not work
Nirvi Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 For me, the spotting dots look ok on my 4k montitor, but in VR with the G2, the dots are way too big. Spotting in VR now feels like cheating. 1 Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos

Only it can be treated as cheat now if someone does it and then flies online dogfights. Apparently the problem also applies to VR: .

HoMeBoY Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Confirm it happens in VR. They look very big. Even adding the line to the cfg file doesn't fix it for me. I think there is proper bug for when the plane is in front of clouds and at that point the dot is rendered at full scale and full opacity no matter the distance
VirKoV Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Same here. Terrible ugly big dots in VR (oculus pro), suddenly disappear when they're near me, and normal size plane appears from super small single pixel to normal size plane. Looks like bermuda triangle now...

I've added it to autoexec but screenshot taken in default Fw-190A bomber intercept mission (attached below) indicate there's no difference between using the revert line and not using it. Unless the difference shows for VR users? I'm on 1440p monitor. Edited October 20, 2023 by Art-J i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
-ZigZag- Posted October 20, 2023 Author Posted October 20, 2023 autoexec.cfg + DotRendererExperiment = False DO NOT WORK AT ALL. So problem is not solved and it is very annoying. 1

KoN Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I think the black dots are for 2k and 4k flat screen resolutions . But maybe it's a bug in VR . I think it needs tweaking for VR users. Like someone has said looks ok in 4k . But they do disappear when you start getting close . I'm guessing that's the transfer from black dot to actual image .

-ZigZag- Posted October 21, 2023 Author Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Distance 1.8 and 19 km Very small size of contact and marker, 4k resolution Edited October 21, 2023 by -ZigZag-
Why485 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) There is a bug (at least I think it's a bug) where, when distant aircraft are against anything transparent, they are extremely visible, no matter the range. Note that "anything transparent" includes even the 2D high altitude cirrus clouds. I don't have a gif of this in action, but for example in the below screenshot, when I positioned the camera such the plane had no clouds of any kind behind it, it was invisible, as I would expect from this great distance. However, when I move the camera such that it was against the clouds, it became highly visible. Edited October 22, 2023 by Why485
-ZigZag- Posted November 3, 2023 Author Posted November 3, 2023 I have to mention that before 2.9 there was a problem with small contacts, but after 2.9 it is very difficult to find an enemy that is close to you (. You cannot be successful, especially when we talk about Dogfight Servers. Please fix this problem or give us an opportunity to change size of contacts( and markers) in settings of the game.
