You can limit its "width of efficiency", if you will, in other words, make it to where it only works between certain heights, and / or degrees on the compass, but about the only to not have it show you the airplane, is to turn off all map contacts. I had experimented with making the initial little "box" images "invisible", but you lose the ships also. So maybe just the airplanes, but then when you get the Improved SJ, or SD or SV, where you are supposed to get the direction and flight path info, you get nothing - besides still getting the little SD radar "box" shape... I don't know if there is a way around that. May-haps someone else does, or has another "outside the box" idea.
