Russianfish Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I'm having trouble seeing ground targets, this is pretty close and their are 6 vehicles in this field. I've tried many settings this is Med@1024X768. System: WinXPproSP1, 3200AMD64, 1024mbRAM (Mushkin), Saphire X800pro (cat4.11), Audigy2 ZS, 2x40gb HDD'd Raid0. http://forum.lockon.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=305&stc=1
Prophet_169th Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Considering the size of your shadow in the second pic, its not all that close. They are hard to see, but then again, they are IRL also. Just think, there is less foliage here. Imagine trying to spot one of those things in the bushes =) 1
Dmut Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 agree, ground vehicles are even harder to see IRL, because they are using camouflage. "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

coldcrew Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 ground targets were so much more easier to see if you zoomed in in 1.02, but it's probably because of the black dots on a green background. It's really hard to spot ground targets when winter or autumn textures are used
VapoR Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 He's not seeing the targets until 2-4km. This is NOT correct, at least as far as the game goes. With a zoomed in HUD, I can start to spot specs at about 24km, At default zoom I see them easily from about 12km. This was a problem I had during 1.02 days until I swapped my video card with my wife's (identical cards) and it was then normal. Very strange indeed!! The "defective" card that I had worked perfectly, except for spotting targets. I get the exact same performance with my wife's card. The only constant that me and Russianfish can find is that our cards are both by Sapphire. This problem is not affected with driver changes or game reinstalls. So does anyone else have some help for him, short of buying a new card? 1
Russianfish Posted April 26, 2005 Author Posted April 26, 2005 Guys I know what your'e saying about distance, camo...etc. I know snow is not the best example, but the 'dots' are popping up at 2-4km ie; they are invisible till then! As I get within range they just appear. Another example, I was being fired at from a Shilka, I could see tracers all the way to the point of origin but NO Shilka I knew where to look, I zoomed in all the way, It popped up at 2-4km out of thin air. Its like the view distance on vehicles isn't triggering till the last second.
coldcrew Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I don't think it's a matter of cards. I have a 5900xt and I could spot ground targets in 1.02 from further away, I can barely see them even upclose in 1.1. They changed something that reduced the distance of eyeballing targets in FC
Russianfish Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 I tried VapoRs advice and borrowed a 9800pro Made by ATI, and I was picking up target 'dots' from 18km out. Is anyone else with a Sapphire card having view problems? Once again the units are not hard to see they are invisible till I get within 2-4km, with the card change the units are hard to see but they are at least visable from 18km.
