Prior to the patch, selecting "Show enemy icons" would only display the other aircraft on your map. I like to keep that selected just in case I want to get a quick glance at the map for situational awareness.

Now when I fly I'm seeing every aircraft has range and aircraft type information flying right along with it, along with a little red arrow that goes flitting about the screen pointing at the other aircraft. I could understand if those things were displayed when I had "Aiming helpers" selected - for training purposes - but not tied into "Enemy icons".

It totally kills the immersion, and ruins any screenshot potential!

Please make an option for disabling "Aircraft range information" or whatever you want to call it.

Once selected in the menu before the mission begins, try pushing "i" button to turn icons on/off.
