i see bnzs is still pouting...should go to an airshow with a good rangefinder...learn some things
No, you are still insisting on the provably incorrect notion that computer screens can give anywhere near a realistic representation of a human's visual acuity. There isn't really even any debate about this. You don't think a real pilot can ID a plane from 2,500 yards? Tallys have occured in clear air at 25 *miles*.
I can tell a Mooney from a Cessna at 6,000 feet distance...and I wear glasses. BTW, that collection of pixels is a 109K4 at far less than half a mile. That screenie more or less proves my point without another argument needing to be made. No icons simulate legally blind pilots, and making that the "default" setting in the AvA is yet another example of that arena shooting itself in the foot in terms of popularity.
