I posted this on the forums about plane spotting. This could explain a lot. It's possible some of us are experiencing this at the same time other are not. hmmm...
I have had issues with seeing aircraft under fire of flak for a while. I see flak but not the plane. I, along with many squad members, have experienced this. I always wrote it off to not being able to see the plane due to the background or distance. Today I found out I was wrong with either assumption.
BTW, this is not the old invisible plane bug where a plane could not be seen until it fired its guns.
Attached is a track flying on Combat Box today combatbox.net/en/mission/4422/. The sky was clear, no clouds. I spotted flak fairly close off my left but could not see a plane. What I found when reviewing the track was that the enemy aircraft (Bf-109) does not show up until it is at 4.93km from me when it pops in (minute 1:41 on the track). In QM I can see this size aircraft with normal viewing distance at about 10km.
Oddly, I know I have seen aircraft at much further distances in Combat Box. It seems this 109 should have stuck out like a sore thumb.
