It’s horrible to see distant planes, in the past you could see at least a speck, now it’s become invisible or is it just me?
My air sim experience It’s quite the opposite. I see a white dot if the plane is on the other side of the map, a black dot if it is, let’s say 30-50 km away, but if it is right next to me, I don’t see it :)
Sometimes the black dot in the gunsight disappears when I zoom in.
Maybe it’s a matter of resolution or some graphical settings.

Are you in VR?
Yes… in VR this is an issue. You can zoom in and get some of the specs back but that’s not really a solution.
It used to show the dots until you were close enough to render a shape - then the dot would change and that would also be difficult because when it renders it’s still too far away to see any details (in VR) so it became harder to see when closer (but still at at a good distance away).
no, I play with the entire configuration at maximum and in high resolution, to see something flying at work
It comes back after you don’t see it for a split second, and then typically the white speck after is visible, they just made it harder to pick out at certain distances
Yeah sometimes it feels like you either have a cinema screen or you cant see planes at all. Trying to spot jets and helicopters becomes a nighmare in GRB if you arent playing a snowy or sandy map unless you are flying “below” them (close to the ground) in order to be able to see the tiny black dots in contrast with the sky. And for some funny reason scout drones can be easily seen KILOMETERS away when they are smaller than a person.
I remember being able to spot planes with little to no issue some updates ago, now you have to look for a tiny small “distortion” (the rotors and jet engines effects but badly rendered at distance) if you want to know where someone is. There is no issue with prop planes tho, since engagement distances are way closer and planes properly render.

Funny thing i learnes at high tiers. The dots render further out if your radar is on and shortens when your radar is off.
Yeah i do have the same problem, aircraft close the the ground between ~800-1500m distance are the worst, it doesnt help that zooming in-out changes the color of the aircraft and its shape is blurred into the ground texture. Thats was far better handled back in the day.
