The idea is not new.  But Opacity in Labels.lua is broken and many don't realize there is workaround.
This Labels file is adjusted to be subtle enhancement to visibility.

Install:  Extract to DCS Main install path or use mod manager.  Must choose Dots only labels in game.

I have included comments in the file for further adjustment per your preference.  Search for Taz1004.

Dot size will depend on your screen resolution and can be adjusted with font size in line 60
Recommend font size of 3 or 4 for VR.  8 for 4K monitor.

Sometimes it's really hard to spot contacts fr om far, especially on smaller monitors. This mod uses DCS World label system in attempt to realistically enhance contact spotting.

Mod adds dark grey, semi transparent dot over air contacts, which subtly increases number of visible pixels taken by contact (1.5-2 times more pixels), especially at longer distances.

For planes - starting from ~0.45nm (barely visible difference) up to ~10.5nm (wh ere difference is really visible).
For missiles - starting from ~0.2nm up to 1.7nm.

Night Vision Goggle (NVD) Shader update to make it behave more like the real thing. You can view the cockpit instruments and panels in your peripheral vision. Should work with TrackIR and VR. I am aware that in VR you see two circles but in Track IR you see one. I'm still working on the convergence for the VR viewpoint and will update when I figure out that code. So for now enjoy the wider field of view! Video of it in action here! https://www.dropbox.com/s/5elduqluz9tszrj/DCS%20NVG%20MOD.mov?dl=0

Simple .lua mod that enables NightVision in the F/A-18C Hornet. Works by using the A-10C's nightvision profile ported to the Hornet, keybinds must be set up under the command "Nightvision On" in the controls menu.

Замена маркеров, упрощение отображения маркеров. Без цифровой индикации расстояния и маркировки техники.

A simple JSGME Ready mod that changes the information displayed with Labels turned on as to not feel too "Gamey" or "Cheaty" for those of you who would still like to use Labels anyway.

Adds NVG capability to the Mig-21 by editing the .lua. Uses the current A-10C NVG's adopted to work in the Mig-21bis. WARNING replaces your current custom "keyboard keybinds".

This is my second mission but pretty happy with how it turned out so thought i'd share it. Mission is set on Sinai, in the Viper where u are tasked with destroying a Naval convey, currently passing through the Suez Canal. They are suspected arms smugglers, but due to half the worlds seaborn logistics passing through the Canal, you cannot obstruct it, so you must remain on station over the water until authorized. Between you and Wingman you have to Destroy the targets, provide SEAD, and your own cap (wingman). Due to the loadout you only have a belly tank fitted, and so you will be required to tank at least once, but on my playthrough (Trak included), i tanked twice, as you do have to hold at times, and be pretty conservative. I did try set it up so your wingman maintains CAP automatically, but dont think it worked properly, so as lead, dont forget to give him orders (he should be on 243.0, same as tanker), and make sure he tanks with you!! As always feedbacks appreciated!! Good luck!
