Icons

Funny, for me it is much tougher to find aircraft below me over land, particularly over forest. I can lose track of the small black dot over dark/black forest even when I know he's there. Maybe the color of the dot could brighten once in a while, to simulate the sun gleaming off the cockpit or wings? This could happen even at random; more often and more intensely on a bright day at noon, rarely in the morning or evening.

Same here

So, is any of the above possible, either icons fading out within closer distance or maybe a combination of increased aircraft visibility / reflections of wings?

As it is I'm experimenting with Toggle Icons mapped to my joystick, it's a feasible workaround but it is another button to push.

Technically possible, maybe for 4.13.

Music in my ears. Thanks FC and DT.
