fitness88 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I used to be able to easily see the airfields on the AMPCD (Advanced Multi-Purpose Color Display) especially in 40 scale but now they don't seem to be present. The airfield insignia is a blue circle with a white line though it indicating the direction of the airfield. Anyone else having this issue? Thank you.

imacken Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 They show OK for me at scales of 20 miles and above. See attached showing at least 4 airfields.

Swift. Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Different display resolutions mean different chart scales for each zoom level. So if you have recently changed from 1024 to 512 for example, then things may have changed. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBStu Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Last week I noticed that as I change chart scales, at some point, the entire color scheme of the chart changes. I don't remember if that caused a problem w/ seeing fields or not but certainly could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have recently changed from 1024 to 512 for example, then things may have changed. That is really interesting. Never knew that. Yes, it would seem that the filled circle with a white cross showing runway orientation shows at 40 miles and 20 miles at 1024, and 20 miles and 10 miles at 512. Other scales show an unfilled blue circle. I wonder why that is. Is it intentional?

fitness88 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've observed in both 512 and 1024 without seeing noticeable change. Using VR I was always able to see the airfields quite easily in all scales up to 40 but it seems the icons are smaller than they used to be.

imacken Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) It's the same in VR. you see the blue filled circle with white line showing runway direction in 1024 for 40 miles and 20 miles, and in 512 it's 20 miles and 10 miles. At all other times, a blue unfilled circle shows. They are not smaller icons, they are different, and in fact the maps are totally different at different scale levels. See attached. (Top is 512 and the bottom is 1024, unsurprisingly higher resolution and detail.)

fitness88 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 At 40 scale they were bigger and clearer. At 20 scale they were even bigger and more clear. Now they are a smudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Quite hard to tell from your screenshots as they are quite small and low res, but the symbols look OK to me in game.

I tried 512 and 1024...did nothing for helping to see more clearly the airfields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
