"Using labels is not an option"
Why not?.......Modify the label to a single character (I use a full stop coloured red)and I guarantee you your understanding of the importance of visual scan , situational awareness and the phrase "Lose sight lose the fight" will increase immeasurably.
TIM Yeah, but I meant labels ... as in big blue and red text. Now we have tiny dots using the label functionality and that works for me. I was not aware that it was an option before. I also hope the whole thing will be fixed when edge is released. Did a finnish Mig-21 intercept (of TU-22 Backfire) mission today. I'm really getting back into this game. -C-

This is great! No more red and blue words flying all over the sky. Thanks for that link. Do I mention that this is great?

I've scrambled together a heavily WIP caveman smart scaling with the labels file, feel free to try it, mod it however you want (it's after all just the regular Labels.lua file that I've been adjusting) and feedback on it: http://www.filedropper.com/labelsIt works in a simple way. At 2km through 30km, all you see is a ' symbol. At 2km it's transformed to a * symbol and at 1km it turns into a # symbol. Very basic, still has different colours for different sides (having a hard time deciding on one colour for all, or different colours to compensate for the AI's horribly bad teamwork in communication even when they start chasing a bogey that's on your tail) and labels for ground units and ships. If you want to remove label symbols, simply remove what's inside the quotation symbols. Colour is adjusted at the bottom. The e.g. 30000 numbers after Format means the range in meters, you can change these, add new ones, delete, etc. as you want to.

As a side note, I think the canopy glint that Mig alley had was really innovative and I hope this is something we will see in the future.
Likewise.
