Topic: Aircraft targeting brackets: client or server error?

So, the bug where the enemy/friendly position indicator brackets don't show up. This bug popped in with 1.25. Is it a server-side bug, or client side? And are you guys going to look into hotfixing it before 1.3?

Yes this bug is driving me nuts. It's too hard to see your enemy in space at distance.
Actually, it is the only real issue that I have with FS.
Keep up the good work otherwise big_smile

I'm not really too sure, but i think its a client side bug and i doubt that there will be another hotfix before 1.3

it makes it more like a real dogfight without IFF...  makes you a better combat pilot ....

We were intending on releasing a hot fix but after seeing the player numbers drop after 1.25 then again after 2142 1.5 we didn't want to see it happen again.

Any chance of making a hotfix that isn't detected by the server? As in, give me the brackets back so i can shoot down more people?
