That being said, maybe the setting you enabled in your conf.ini is responsible for the ghost dots, as this problem had been largely fixed for the default installations. I think i haven't seen any ghost contacts at all with the two latest test patches (the current beta and the alpha before it).

I'm sorry to confirm the "ghosts" still haunt us, even with the latest beta patch.
. I wonder, though, if they're more prevalent in some missions than others.
Our mission designer wizards are, as I write this, designing missions with AI bombers that are more numerous (larger formations & more frequent), fly higher, AND (you'll like THIS, BD!) --- attack targets necessary for the Blue Team to take the map. Not only will this encourage Red Team (RAF) fliers to gain altitude quickly to intercept these ongoing threats to survival, but the Blue Team fighters are encouraged to provide effective escort to enable the AI bombers to achieve their objectives. If Blue Team bomber pilots wish, they may either join the AI formations (difficult in a practical sense), or more readily fly their own missions to greatly hasten the process.
I know one of these missions is already in the ATAG Server rotation, I and a few others are separately testing a new one on a private server. Blackdog, I know your input and others go a long way towards the creation of even more challenging & satisfying missions and is always greatly appreciated.
