As a pilot in BF2 i've flown with many players. Some excellent, and some bad, but every few days I get a gunner who doesnt seem to see what I see. I can see the chopper perfectly, or vehicle perfectly and i've spotted it about 5 times mean while he's typing "Where is it, I dont see it?"

I can instantly tell his settings arent best fit for choppers. Geometry plays a big role while flying not only choppers, but jets as well, as it effects at what distances objects/vehicles/players appear.

This may be obvious to almost everyone here, but this is just a reminder to those who dont have it set to High.

NOTE- The performance hit is non-existent, luckily geometry is one of the settings that doesnt seem to hurt performance.

Yeah, I fly with a buddy who doesn't have his settings on high and it's rather annoying when I can see the target and he can't, thanks for the tip, I'll pass it along.

Any card with at least 8 pipelines shouldnt have a problem running geometry on high.
Geometry simply adds more polygons to the scene. Only those with really low end cards should steer clear of High Geometry. Geometry is purely a video card related setting.

I knew about it but it is too much for my computer. I do not fly jets or helis very often. The only time I even get into a heli is on sharqi. When in jets I have to fly quite low otherwise I can't see anything. Consequently I am aa fodder.
