Whenever using time compression, you should have the stopwatch on the screen. When ships or planes spawn, the stopwatch will either pause, or start to lag as it ticks. Be ready to hit the backspace key to drop to normal time.
Go to either your hydrophones or radar, they will tell you what's going on. I use 1024 TC all the time, in friendly as well as Empire waters, but the old trick of using the stopwatch, is a sure bet for knowing something is happening.
