I've experienced a problem where the contact was off the PPI scope, but did show up on the A-scope. A possibility.

There is no air search scope. Both radar displays are linked to the surface search set. Air contacts get reported and display on the map if you have contacts on. SH4 does not distinguish between radar contacts, so air and surface are both reported the same way. While the bearing was not available on the actual SD radar, we do get it in game.

what gives?

No, that mod does not affect the scopes at all.
