Not able to see planes in SIMULATION Mode...you also???

I love to play sim mode but for one major thing....not able to see a darn enemy plane when looking down for it from above. All the planes blend into the scene making them too hard to find...if not impossible.

I have a HDTV (ABOUT 36") so I do not feel it on account of my video settings.

Is the set pstch addressing this...if the patch actually arrives?

don't know about the patch but yeah its tough. Is it realistically tough? After all the planes of the era were painted camo on top for just that purpose.

Well I guess it would be somewhat acceptable if only the enemy planes were just as handicapped but I find that they have super-duper vision and can ID me long before they are even specks on my screen.

BTW, I just popped in my ol' IL-2 1946 on me PC and holy crap is that game still awesome. It's not as polished and pretty as BOP but man it's got this gritty reality to it that BOP doesn't come close to. I even loaded up a P-51D with 100% fuel and took on 2 HE-111's and wouldn't you know that the P-51 handled like a beaut. Nothing like the model in BOP.

Yeah I'm just starting to work on Sim, I prefer Realistic but it seems to be the forgotten middle child and Arcade is retarded. I had some matches with Edal86 and trk29 last night and found that the only way to seem them was to hug the deck. They will be very easy to see even at a distance because against sky in stead of ground they appear and big grey blobs far bigger than they should be, I'm talking like 5-6km's away. So hug the ground and look up. Seems to work and I noticed a lot of other guys hanging out on the deck, probably for the same reason...

Honestly, it REALLY makes you wonder how those WWII pilots saw e/a and on top of that, were able to BnZ them from above!

They must've had eagle vision or something because, I have a lot of trouble in this game spotting anything in sim unless I'm lower than the enemy, which is actually where you didn't want to be in real life.
