    If you change the icon from "default" to "plane type" you can see the type of plane that the other sides flies, but only from a short range (D5 I think).

    Dont know if this is a bug or a feature, so...

    :)

    Well yes exec.. but if there is going to be other "no plane ID" scenario and this happens it can give to the pilots that use it a fair amout of advantage.
    If you can tell (using the "plane type" setting) if the plane on your 6 is a yak or a la5 you can make the proper evasive actions for that plane, otherwise you would have to rely on your recognizing abilities to ID the plane (and not everyone can recognize a plane when evading from it) otherwise you can make simple but deadly mistakes.

    Oh well just my point of view :D

    probably aike misformulated the phrase, probably i misinterpreted.

    neon subtitle about plane type from d5 is for morons, that could not recognise the aircraft from d7 ;) let them some chance to know out this info, finally ;)

    sorry, if rough.
