Is there a way to increase plane visibility? (online)

[MadTommy]

Is there a way to increase plane visibility for flying online that is within the rules of fair play?

One thing i really struggle with is visually picking up planes. It seems unrealistically difficult. I live under the flight path of a small airfield and i see very small planes flying about the whole time, on sunny days, (like every day in CloD), you can see them from miles away with ease, especially with the sun reflecting off them.. in CloD many many times i have been in the vicinity of a group of heavy bombers (on ATAG server) and not been able to locate them. Often i'll fly a 40 minutes sortie and never see another plane, even though i know there are 30 other players and many AI about.

I've seen mention of tweaks to files that is supposed to help.. but not sure what these tweaks are and if they are allowed in multiplayer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
