They are made to disappear as you zoom out to remove clutter. Zoom in and you should see them. Also "anti-allising" may make them blurry, turn it off in the video/graphic settings

Hey cools. Good to see you back man. I have a squadmate who had this problem and solved it with the Insert key. Not sure what or why this is a problem, but would love to hear Skuzzy's remedy.

It is not a problem.  It is by design.

The clipboard map gets too cluttered to be useful with all the ICONS on when you zoom out from it.  Zooming in brings the ICONS back into view where they are at a point of being clear to see.

Actually, the clip-board is too cluttered with planes and tank Icons showing witch way they are pointing.
Just nonsense IMO... (bring back the dots)

Detracting from the original point, I know.. but I preferred them. Actually had to make the effort to go up and check out what I'd be dealing with. Loved the mystery.
