Spotting dots on some servers and not on others

[II.JG1_Vonrd]

This is not about the spotting per se (but I'm having much worse spotting than some others in our squad) but why I see the "improved spotting dots" in some servers, (Warbirds for one) and not in others (our JG1 servers, Heatblur among others). I, of course, have the spotting dots enabled. Are there server settings that would explain why I'm experiencing this?

For the record here's my PC specs. 

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
MOBO - Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX
Memory - G.Skill DDR5-6000 (4 ea 16Gb. Total 64 Gb) P/N: F5-6000J3238F16G-fx5
Graphics card - PNY GeForce RTX 4080
Storage - 2 each 2TB P3 NVMe PCIe 3.0 M.2 Internal SSD
VR - Pimax Crystal using OpenXR latest build
OS - Mindows 11 Pro 64 bit

There are no server settings that affect the spotting dot system.

Some servers however, do run with the dot labels which are totally independent of the spotting dots. E.g. Warbirds uses the dot neutral labels (draws a little period using the label system instead of full colored names), while Heatblur's Cold War and many servers have labels completely disabled.

I don't see any dots now its like they are all invisible to my headset . Yet go to flat screen 1440p and there they are , its just a crazy and buggy spotting system in DCS.

I'm guess the lack of players in the WWII server is dead now ,  compared to 100 players few months back . Go figure that one out . Flat screen i see the dark dot on the horizon but VR that Dot is nowhere to be seen .

EWR is telling me A10 is 9km on my 12 , yet I don't see a thing , now its 6km 2oclock and still see nothing . Flat screen and there he is .

I no longer support DCS .

That is correct, yet I have the new spotting ticked in options and yet I see NO dots like I used to be able to , I know there were big black  blobs in VR totally over the top , but now it's gone completely the other way . Some strange system this dcs has .
