Learning to fly without labels is tough but doable. Also with training one can id planes from pretty far off (particularly by colour) at least in terms of friend or foe.

Labels would destroy immersion greatly for me.

I also think it is quite realistic that it is not easy to identify a plane from far. Just treat any unidentified dot as a potential enemy until you identified it as friendly.

I will give it another go tonight and hopefully I find someone on Teamspeak willing to pair up with me

I agree it would be unrealistic if the object icon/label appeared from too far away. If a label with name/callsign was to be added (which I really doubt ), it should be at a distance where you are already able to identify friend from foe/type of plane (not sure exactly how far away that is).

Again, I'm not sure this is even possible to implement.
