The solution can be take a base resolution (800x600, for example) to find the best size for this first sight of plane (2x2 pixels like in IL2, for example), and them adapt this size to the resolution with pilot fly, so the phisically size of that first sight of plane will be the same no matter in wich screen resolution fly...

In my example, 2x2 pixels at 800x600 and 4x4 pixels at 1600x1200 have, in the same screen, exactly the same phisyc size. Is like if you take a photo at 2Mp or 10Mp with same zoom level, a particular detail will have bigger number of pixels in the 10Mp shot, but when you print the two shots in 10x15, this particular detail have the same phisically size in paper, no matter in wich resolution where taken...

Sorry for my bad english and thank you very much for the screenshots updates, your answers and for be really accesible for us...

I`m in fire for take in my hands the Storm Of War: Battle Of Brittain...

Would be a reasonable solution but not complete as it would not be able to differentiate between the physical size of a display, my 22inch screen is 1680x1050, others are 1920x1080.

But it is something that needs to be looked at for certain.
