I thought I made that pretty clear!

And no, narrower FOV does not make 'dots' bigger. It makes those aircraft that would otherwise be 'dots' still appear as aircraft models, making it more realistic (and easier) to spot them.

A 'dot' is still a dot (ie pixel), except now it might not appear until 5 or 6km instead of just 3 or so.

And lastly, and I can't overstate this, at the end of the day that really is how big and easy aircraft are to spot for real pilots. Why should I be squinting and straining my eyes to spot things that would be immediately obvious to my eyes in reality? That's not simulation, that's analism for the sake of hyper competitive online afficianados. I can spot BIRDS in general aviation more easily than aircraft in this "simulation"!
