Great preview Chuck!
Thanks goes to @wagmatt and ED team for providing someone from community like you @Chuck_Owl with such privilege as to preview their new DCS2. Thumbs up! :thumbsup:

@EinsteinEP in the second stream @wagmatt mentioned that they are not going to apply “smart scaling” as such as ED “dont actually consider that a smart option”. The mentioned new MODEL VISIBILITY option “essentially place icon over the location of the unit…”.
And I am fine with that. Bigger dots are OK. Plus the better VISIB RANGE will definitely make the MP life for some guys easier.

I certainly feel like this is a more “realistic” option. I have read many WWII accounts of pilots having to get right up on another planes tail before being able to ID them as friend or foe. So being able to spot early but not ID should add for some good MP fun.

Anybody else remember the “black dot” drama from IL2 days? LOL

I’m glad ED is tackling the visibility problem with some thought. I’m very interested to try out the results firsthand, of course.

It’s good that they is some improvement.

Game is quite strange as it. In FW-190 I’m okay at spotting P51, however in P51, they is no chance i see a FW190 at all. Must be some LOD magic with it.
