except of course that you are completely wrong, and you have failed to understand the information he posted. in fact, he said exactly the opposite of what you think, and validated the spotting/tracking problem of aircraft in CoD (for the limited set of conditions he described)

hint: this "non native english speaker" poster was referring to using a "cheat" to enhance LoD model visibility in CoD (but at significant cost in fpsec) discussed here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...eshShowLod%3D1 and he stated that when using the cheat he can see some LoD models at some distances roughly correctly now, but ...... [against open sky (where they should stand out like dogs balls most of the time)
hint 2: no opinions provided by him regarding spotting/tracking moving objects below him while in flight when looking at them against a terrain background (of which there are various types), or locating stationary objects (vehicles/aircraft) on open roads or in open fields (other then him saying they are generally harder to spot then against open sky eh)
hint 3: people in some of these posts are also seeming to refer to a bug of some sorts which makes some LoD models almost disappear when you close in on the distant aircraft and loose sight of it (against open sky !), which is what he seems to be alluding to

eh meaningless jibber jabber like most of your previous posts on this topic. but kind funny to see you put your foot in it so enthusiastically

now lets see if you swallow your own snake oil when its dished out to you instead. since this person who you by your own words decided was a conclusive authority on this matter, and he said exactly the opposite of your "opinion" , does that mean your going away now and leave it to normal posters to exchange meaningful factual information ?

lemme guess.............. i feel a psychic revelation coming on that allows me to predict the future.......if only the rest of life was so easy

you fail to grasp that if you are so happy with how you can see distant objects in the sim, then good for you, go play and leave the rest to discuss what problems they are experiencing and try and arrive at some meaningful numbers to compare spotting/tracking distances to real life experiences in ww2 aircraft another point your missing is that not everybody in il2 (or currently in CoD) is seeing the exact same thing on their monitors, even when viewing the same objects and scenery, eg what you see is not what others see for a multitude of reasons and variables. neither does it need your approval, or even understanding of the topic being discussed, for others to be able to discuss this issue.

it took literally several years to narrow down in il2 what the main problems were with "distant object visibility", given the information amassed in that debate we can cut through the same problems we now experience in CoD much faster

Thank god I've got you round to explain to me other people's thoughts, even my own!, LoL.

Im not gonna try to explain to you what it is written in the post i was referring to, you should be able to understand whatever fits to your own requirements as you showed already.

Be water my friend.
