[RESOLVED] Navigation lights almost invisible at more than super close distance

I recently did a night patrol. All lights were set to full. It was very hard to follow wingmen at more than 100-200m as we couldn't see navigation lights (or any other light)

 

When RTB, there was a patrol of F/A-18 close to us. They are as visible as a lighthouse. I believe this is because their lights generate a halo which is easy to see, while the 2000 visible light size is sub-pixel from 100m or so.

Did you by chance only have the lights set to DIM and not birght? Just cause I flew on GAW the other night in full darkness no moon light and even at dim the lights were quite bright

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.
