Scared Bunny I got your fix right here...

Open up the file named Contacts.cfg (../data/cfg/) and edit the following line in the file as shown.

FROM:
Decay Time For Precise Sensor Contacts=60 ;[>0] seconds

TO:
Decay Time For Precise Sensor Contacts=0 ;[>0] seconds

This will prevent the ship identifier from showing on the map view when the contact is within visible range, and should give you a reason to use manual plotting again. (however, this fix can cause problems in rough seas with your stadimeter, and it may not work since you will loose your contact whenever waves / water cover your scope... there is more on this topic in the forum)
