New issue 904 by jea...@wa...: buggy hud target marker
http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=904

*What steps will reproduce the problem?*
1.set up the HUD with the target market set in the ladder:
<enable-target-markers>true</enable-target-markers>
2.
3.


*What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*

i expect the circles to follow the planes, and to desappear when a plane  
leave.

what happens is that if a plane log out or come out the radar range, the   
circle showing it's position in the hud is still there, standing at it's  
last known position in the HUD, until a new plane take the mp slot.

in a long mp session with lots of turn over, it's pretty ennoying to have  
lot's of fixed circles in the hud.

an other observation is that tankers are not considered , that make the  
cheating way to find them useless ;)

*Any output in the console (black window)?*


*What FlightGear version are you using (when using GIT version, please
mention date)?*
git of a week ago


*Please provide any additional information below or as attachment (Avoid
expiring external links, such as to imageshack/pastebin/...).*

in HUD_ladder.cxx, the circle is displayed if the callsign is not null, it  
should consider both the "valid" and "radar/in-range" properties instead.

here's a patch wich make it work this way (but i don't know if that will  
work if the radar section is not here).

I added the "tanker" in the list to display them with the mp and ai planes.
