Please remove flying dots beyond certain range

[Pavlin_33]

Dear ED,

Please remove "flying bricks" beyond certain range, like 15km (insert correct number here).

Soviet vertical scan mode limits radar lock-ups to 10km, since they expected this mode to be used within visual range.

In DCS we have dots that are visible at 40km+, so now aircraft with sensors almost have no advantage over ones without.

This is highly unrealistic, and might give advantage to players with certain software configurations.

Thank you in advance.

It still needs fixing

[Captain Chuck]

Pilots say that in real life one can't get a visual on another plane that is more than 5 miles away.

Again DCS has a problem, it's not just the spotting issues it's the invisible airframe when it gets with in let's say 5 miles . The transfer from black blob to a 3D image. 

Today i on the enigma cold war server . First on my 43"inch  4k TV. I could clearly see contacts at 10 miles according to the call outs . 

I then went back into VR on my pico 3 link i went back to same location on call outs and i could not see a thing with Call outs coming in at 3 miles . I Died and reset . So frustrated , I switched to the big black blobs and now I can see them at distance in VR . But coming into close combat short range I loose sight , the large dot just disappeared, 

I have not bought the F4 because I'm still waiting for a fix on this issue and many other issues.

And I will continue to keep my money. . 2.9 _ looks great but with it comes problems. 

And they don't seem to be getting fixed . 

Tracks still broken . 

MT still broken . 

Spotting still broken. 

Multiplayer net code still broken. 

The core of this game .
