A yard is about 1 metre. Can you see a plane in complete detail further than half a kilometer away? Not likely when it is a small fighter. AH approximates wide fields of view with the normal look-around zoom setting so it is probably a bit smaller then it would be in real life. Don't forget there is a zoom key [z] for the view as well.
If the terrain looks too dark, increase the brightness of your monitor and increase the gamma setting on your video card.
2- Frame rate runs from 7-23 but only uses 15K of available 64k memory? How can I get frame rate up? (Dell 450mhz Pentium 2 with 384meg RAM, TNT2 32MB video card.)
Check out the hardware forum for suggestions on tweaking. Although the TNT2 is probably the bottleneck in your system. I upgraded from the TNT2 to a geForce 2MX and got much better frame rates. Try decresing screen resolution if you can't get any better fps.
3- Is there a comparison of planes anywhere that lists ammo/hit power, speed, turning ability in one place (besides AH standard charts)?
Not a formal one. I suggest reading through the older help threads and aircraft/vehicles forum for more info.
