A predicament. I'm sight impaired.

Hi People, My eyes are 'out to lunch' and my eyesight has been deteriorating for 68 years. I have almost every flight sim and enough add-ons and experience to be able to hold a substantial opinion.

By 'beef' is with labels. I hate flying with them. Let's say 6 aircraft are attacking, I cannot distinguish them from the bleeding labels. Why not just a 'dot' of the appropriate colour, above the enemy formation? Who would like to see this? I have ok sight but not for focusing, hours on end on a computer screen. However there is no eyestrain if I can get the general direction of the enemy. I'd like to see labels disappear completely when I get in sight range and remain off when I'm in the thick of it. Reappearing once I reach a prescribed distance.

Try this.

 

It changes the labels display to a dot "." so it's less obtrusive.

 

We don't play with labels on but for user's that do this might be better for you.

To be honest, the op's suggestion of labels going to a dot or something under a certain range is actually a really nice feature for those of us that use lables.

 

Although for me, I'd like it the other way around. Dots at a distance, and then lables within a klick or so, where they're big enough that lables aren't in the way.
