Mission 3 night time dog fight can't see the enemy aircraft in visual range.

I respect people turn off the label for more realism, but I just can't see the enemy at all in visual range. very frustrating.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

I agree that dogfight in a low light conditions is not the easiest task. Not in the game and I suppose not in real life as well. 

The labels are not forced off by the campaign but now that you mentioned it I noticed a weird behavior. When mission is loaded from another mission (like in this campaign from the intro mission) labels are not working. I need to ask ED what's going on because I think it shouldn't be like that.

The label problem is now reported to ED by Reflected who is having the same problem with his campaign.

This is interesting, I had noticed this also but thought it was just the way you had designed it to limit labels. I can only toggle the spotting dots.

Campaign is designed so that it should be playable with labels off but with some more challenge. Still I have no reason to prevent anyone using labels if it feels better. 

Hope they get it fixed soon

I this resolved? I have a hard time to locate the tanks in M8 and would like to enable labels for a few minutes, but it's impossible.

I have not noticed this in other campaigns.

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

ED has done some magic because labels are now working but not in all missions. At the moment, for an unknown reason, in missions 3, 8, 9, 13, and 15 the labels still don’t work. The reason remains a complete mystery, since the settings are identical to the other missions.

If you want the labels to work in any of these missions, it’s possible by opening the mission (not the intro) through the mission editor. In that case, the labels should work.

Ok, I will try that. Thanks for the tip!
