Not a wingman, It's red -not white... This dot was moving through A10 radar, so I took a pic. Just thought it was odd. HTC have a clue? Maybe I shoulda filmed it, but I thought the pic was better cuz it shows the red dot, and the FV wouldn't.

I watched an enemy dot up at it's base and fly 2 sectors the other night.  I saw it the whole way until someone killed it at our base.  This was on NDIsles, in fact, taking off from the same base your screen shot is and flying to the field to the NW.

Go to options>Prefs>GUI and mess around with colors all you want.  I set my two "clipboard enemy" colors different to make it easier to tell territory on the clipboard.

I also end up changing my "clipboard friends" color for each new map, to make it easier to read the clipboard icons so I can find my bases better.  "Need help at A28 ASAP!!!!"  Ok, where the heck is A28...I gotta zoom in or make the clipboard bigger because the green is blending in with the map and I can't read the text.  Change the color to blue and it's much easier to read.
