need help about dots

Greetings all!
I had few problems with game and reading forum I solved them, but for this one I couldn't find solution.My problem is that I can't
see planes, they are blended with scenery and if I loose track of plane just for a moment, I cant find it again. I know that I can use
labels but they are to big and will break immersion big time. For me, most appropriate is to use dots, but alas they appears only at min distance
of 1,5 km and beyond. My question is can I somehow set dots to start appears at 200 m, or to be present all the time?

Emca, welcome to the forum. You may want to adjust the Distance Factor down under Labels Avg. Distance in Workshops. See if that helps any.

Thank you Fullofit for trying to help.
I saw those settings but they don't affect min range of dots at all, only range of labels identity, dots are still at min. range of 1500m.
To clarify I would like to see dots on planes from 200m to 3000m. Now I can see dots only if plane is at 1500m and beyond that range, and if he is closer to me I cant see dots.

I know you prefer not to use labels because they are too intrusive, but there is a mod somewhere around here (try Sandbagger's webpage) that decreases the brightness and intensity of the font colors and the background labels so they don't interfere as much with the immersion. You might want to give that a try, at least as an experiment.

Sorry that didn't work. I think JJJ65 Multimod controls the label's colours and background.

Yep, youre right, Fullofit. You can set color and opacity of all labels and dots in WOFF. For example, I have set enemy labels opacity to 0, so all enemy labels are transparent (invisible) and I am not warned in advance about presence of enemy. Download link is here.

Emca..........welcome. For whatever it's worth.....it's ALWAYS difficult to find the other guys.....it's supposed to be. I'm pretty sure is was that way back in the day and it's modelled perfectly in WOFF. You're right....the labels can be an immersion killer, so use your TAC if you want to see what's going on around you. Select a good guy/bad guy and shift views to target to player view to see who and what they are.....you can detail that view shift to a key....bv default it's F1. Also you can hit lock view to taget and you'll see where they are from your cockpit......invaluable, and the only way I've been able to fudge an edge on the odds. No doubt you may know all this already......they're great workarounds to having everybody flying around with a colored label or a dot on them. Labels off is usually the first thing to go by the board once you have the feel of things. Good luck!

Finally it works.
After dozens of experimentation I mange to find satisfactory solution. Fullofit you were right, distance factor does affect min. range of dot, when I reduced distance factor I couldn't see it coz it's small and color is pale. I change dot to cross and change its color and size, now it is visible alot.
Thank you all for help.

And welcome to the greatest flight sim ever.
