In fact as the AI was positioning for a landing, his wings would clearly show against the darker terrain. I think its very important that if a pilot looses contact, to then look where it should be and it will be picked up again...in short it does not disappear, at least with off-line.
hiya slipball,
i looked up the monitor listed in your spec list, and altho panel technology is not a perfect predictor, it has been shown in the past that is a major variable. you personally will have significantly less problems spotting dots and distant small LoD models, because the monitor you are using is 6 bit color and has the "advantages" (in il2) that i mentioned earlier

Planar SA 2311W = 6bit TN panel (http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors...-34512572.html)
also make sure you are not using a zoomed view when trying to spot/track or identify distant objects (for the purposes of our discussion here)
