Scenery ships zooming in

[maxTRX]

I guess this is supposed to be an improvement. Instead of ships popping into view at extremely close range they 'zoom in'.  Anyone else noticed?

It looks weird in VR in low level flight over water.

Yes, I've noticed ships doing this on the South Atlantic map too, so it's not unique to the Syria map.

Yep.. I`ve noticed that too!

today i noticed this for the first time too. I looks horrible. The ships suddenly appear and 'grow' from the water. Something to do with LOD settings probably.

I've also noticed this

Same. Looks very odd to say the least.

It startled the heck out of me when I saw it the first time, in my peripheral vision.  I there is no plan to fix it, can we at least have an option to disable this part of scenery?

Any improvements in the newest patch (30Oct24) ?

Nope, still some spooky ship zooming going on in 2.9.9.2280

I´ve never seen it on other maps. It gave me a bit of a jumpscare as I first thought I was going to collide with this rapidly "approaching" ship. But then it suddenly decided to zoom back down to normal size again as I passed it. Quite a disturbing sight in VR, and does nothing good for immersion!

I haven't seen them on 2D, but in VR the effect is odd and scary. Flying low level on a Chinook it tricked my brain into thinking I was flying straight down to the sea

Please address this issue. I haven‘t tried it in 2D but in VR it‘s a major immersion breaker! I would rather have no ships at all than having a supertanker popping in and „growing“ less than 2 km in front of me. I like the map but this bug almost makes me aviod it!

I agree, seeing these massive ships just pop-in at very short distance (looks to be around no more than 3km) looks just awful. Persian Gulf map has this set extremely well so Syrian map really needs this changed to match PG map. Otherwise Syrian map is great to me.
