Humbly requesting plane zoom on outzoom map

When i played original games, i could set how zoomed the plane icons would be on the different zoomed in maps. As now i find the tiny planeicons little to small, and i am wondering if:

Is there a way to let zoomed in plane graphics be displayed on the zoomed out map? I am referring to the first zoom level of map where teh targets are seen as full icons for the first time vs. teh further zoom in on teh first zoom level where the plane icons goes from tiny to normal.

Or did we get lost in this bad explanation now? hehe

Is there a file that controls this that is easily editable? Tehre seems to be no .ini file of what i am aware of for these settings.

Thanks for anyone caring!

The old zooms were based on the 3-d models. We now use 2-d renders that are fixed in size. If I resize them they look atrocious, so the zoom was taken out.

On the LONG TERM list is to use better art to allow zooming again.
