Spotting the enemy?

Obvious, you have to see this picture in original size, without any zoom. Here is a little help if you don't find them.
If you see nothing, your monitor need adjust.

Excellent test Tom! As others have stated though you are missing 15 aircraft on the "help" image.

I also had severe problems with spotting planes. I'm not talking about the LoD issue, where contacts suddenly disappear at a certain distance, but I didn't see contacts at all. The only times I actually saw something was the Me-109 zipping by after she's hit me...

It turned out that my so-so pc apparently wasn't capable of running CoD properly on my monitor's native resolution (1920*1080), without notifying me in any way - after setting the game to a lower resolution (1600 or 1400), I've seen much success with spotting planes, and keeping them in sight, lately.
