I got annoyed by this when playing with contacts off, so I created this to display only aircraft and not ships on the map. Not perfect, but it works well enough for me. If a radar report is announced, I can jump to the map and find out soon enough.

This mod works pretty darn good for me too, and corrects a flaw in the game... SD could always tell you the range of an air contact even if it couldn't tell you the bearing, so you could get a general range rate of the detected aircraft and decide whether or not to pull the plug. Using this mod i can hide the ships and plot them myself, and still keep a reasonable simulation of the SD functionality.
