Maybe I screwed something up while taking the screenshots(dont think so tho')...
Anyway; here are the shots and the ntrk, 7.55mb zip

the key point for using comparison screenshots is that:
1) the distant aircraft you are looking at must indeed be a dot (so past the lod model drawing distance, for single engine fighters this can be up to 2000 m or so)
2) have your monitor FoV correctly set for the monitor size so ingame objects are displayed in 1:1 ratio compared to real life, dont use a zoomed in/out FoV setting
3) use in cockpit viewing of the distant object, external views can distort and magnify
4) use 1/2 your native resolution to compare the 2 screenshots
