I never saw the front line displacement on any mission planner chart.
Front Marker table on my campaign db is empty.
Is this feature not yet available, or is it a mistake of mine?

Hi gross,
The way I think of it is that the front line is simply a way to summarize all the known enemy unit locations without cluttering up the map. The MP shows you all the known locations anyway, so there is no need for a front line on the MP.
However, when you fly each mission, you may need a front line on the in-game map, so SEOW will provide the FrontMarker directives used by IL2 to draw the front line, if you want it to. IL2 has its own code for drawing the front line based on midpoints between opposing FrontMarkers. I haven't bothered recreating this code, and that's another reason why the MP doesn't support frontline display.
Cheers,
