There's two ways, first way is to make it so that you play with map contacts on, but all the ship icons are removed, leaving you to look at the map and see if its an aircraft, but not being able to see the ship. This has probelms with unexpected ships (e.g. new ships that you have added) and you'll also be able to see the aircraft's direction, which is not realistic.
The second way is to make the surface radar station switch to display the air search radar, but the radar station will only display if the currectly on radar can see ground units, so you'll get ground units on the 'air' radar as well as air targets. You'll also either get air targets on the PPI, before you get SV radar, or if I rig it the other way, you'll never get air on the PPI even if you do have SV radar.

Re zooming in the Dials: I removed the camera.dat file again. I did it last night and nothing happened. This time I had the mod deactivated when I removed it. I rebooted and opened a saved game. I was able to zoom the camera close to the dials, so that my problem may be solved. I will see keep my eye on it, and if reverts back to its former habit, I will let you know.
As for bobbing up and down of the radar unit, I can live with it. It is a minor inconvenience. I just noticed it when I was able to zoom to the Dials. Before, I did not notice it. I consider it part of the experience.
As for keeping contacts for planes, I prefer your first proposed solution as I only have TMO2.0 and no extra ships. What files do I eliminate to remove ships from map contacts if I choose to do so? The problem I see here is that if a ship does not have radar, I would typically to play with map contacts on to follow ships and planes. If the ships are removed, I would be required to have two games installed -one with map contacts intact and one with map contacts modified. This seems onerous.
Ideally, it would be nice if someone could mod a "Restore Map for Contacts for Aircraft Only" for those who deleted ships from Map Contacts.
