the single aircraft you parked a bit further away is not visible for me (barely if i use a magnifying glass to view the exact spot i think it is in), and the truck/tank is also not visible. i do get a faint hint of it when at one point i think it kicks up some dust, but all the rest is invisible to me (i can sometimes spot where i think he is with the magnifying glass)

for the purpose of our comparison here, the cluster of 3 he111's is probably to large, 2 or 3 single fighters scattered somewhere on the airfield might be a better measuring stick, but the driving vehicle/tank is illustrating the problem well for me, it is basically invisible unless i exactly already know where he is and then use a magnifying glass to confirm it is a small moving object (and neither is the single engine fighter)



1/2 the time in the video you posted i cant actually see them (the 3 he111's), 1/4 of the time they are very visible (as glittering/shimmering cluster, not as individual aircraft), and the last 1/4 i kinda can see something if i know where to look (but again cant see them as aircraft)

maybe the "remain visible" (to you) is similar or related to the bug that some people reported, where distant aircraft can be seen through clouds ? (which would be a bug)

I did a bit more study at the 1200m level. I added single 109's, 111's, and a medical vehicle on the move.

Observation: everything as a single object will be detected, if you are looking for objects. Once you are alerted by movement or a glitter and then zoom in, vehicle movement can easily be tracked, aircraft shape/identification, is fairly easy to see and not loose sight of.

Conclusion: getting a "true" 120hz monitor would give a person an definite advantage, and solve the loosing Spit??
