Changes the wording to a dot.

I’ll have to do that when I get back to Leeds!
Just copied the file over and about to see.
A lot better than the words, I think you can also tweak this so the label is almost invisible near in and very far out
I’ve always had a problem with the labels obscuring the targets! Drives me mad in DCS. They merge over each other and make a solid wall of red! Getting this to work will be a lot better 
In Quotes is the Labels.lua file to do the following -
I’ve got it so that the labels for ground units are pretty subtle, and they disappear when you get within visual range, they are also hidden when more than 35k away.
(Note, change the %* to a %. for the aircraft to make it even smaller if wanted)
