Never seen a circle around a plane in RFB. Not once.

Only on EZ mode, maybe?

What year is it. Some planes have radar. Still, I've never seen circles around planes. Maybe they were there in stock, but I don't recall that they were.

I have map contacts on. I wonder if it is from RSRD?

I use RSRDC, and that's a sub thing, not a plane thing, so it's not in RSRDC.

Dunno, never saw it, myself. Sounds like the stock game sensor range circle thingies (which have been turned off so long for me I've sort of forgotten them).

One circle will be radar. The other will be the visual sensor.

Which one is which i have no idea where RFB is concerned. But, given all the factors invovled it would not be unusual to see a visual sensor have a 20 to 30KM radius, and only have an effective detection range of 16 to 18KM or something like that.
