Manual says FFG extends to 1 nm aft, same for 688i?

And what do you do with ambiguous contacts? Do you turn and should they be a ghost image of your propeller?

Lastly, any German or British based online flotillas I can join, that are active now?

Thanks

Yes, you need to turn in order to discern real contacts from ghost ones on the towed. The other way to do this would be to track same contacts on the spherical.

The easiest way to verify would be to use the 3d view and look if the towed array is straight or still bent.
