No, I am not talking in photography mm terms.

What I said was this; my monitor occupies 23.5 degrees of my 180 degree field of vision. On this monitor is projected a game (Cliffs of Dover) that presents 30 degrees of view from the perspective of the ingame camera.

This means that I have 30 degrees of hypothetical view presented on just 23.5 degrees of my ACTUAL view - ie, it is wider than it should be, and not a 1:1 presentation.

I have drawn a picture to illustrate this problem. How would you solve it?

Youre right of course, a very big part of this is screen contrast, blurring/lag, resolution, screen size and how far away from your face it is. Part of it affects the effective size and thus visibility of the 'dot' (assuming it is just 1 pixel), and the other affects the effective size of the surface you are viewing the game on.

There is a wide variety in all these factors which, of course, is why some people have more difficulty (apart from eyesight) seeing the 'dots' or aircraft generally ingame than others.
