Can anyone confirm this and expand on it.

I can confirm. Since the alpha patch was released I've found it significantly easier to spot aircraft at a distance. I've always been pretty decent at aircraft ID so it's hard to say if it's easier to ID them or not.
I will say that the LOD on the G.50 is not good, and you can't see the yellow stripe on the engine cowling until you get very very close, which means it often gets mistaken for a Hurricane.

I would fly around forever at alt not seeing anything below me and chasing dots only to have them disappear when I got close.

Those are ghosts of AI bombers and is related to the net code, not the rendering pipeline. They still exist.

Can you spot lower flying planes from a higher alt now and has the disappearing dots\distant aircraft been fixed?

From 5000 meters (16000 feet) I could see little dots scooting over the airfield at hawkinge last time I was online.
