The Map

Featured Replies

When doing missions or anything I wish there would be some good map in the game. Sometimes its hard for me to tell where the runways are lined up. I know about pressing M(forget if u can press that during missions) and viewing birds eye view with zooming in and out but I dont like it. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes.Also Navaids and no silly destination/mission text please. Thank you.

I think i would like a simple flight planner of some sort instead of the destination marker.. Would be fun!

I tend to use the top down view a fair bit during missions to land. When I get close I have to circle a little, but it's usually ok. Used it for the little airstrip photographer mission. Some of those are hard to see! and land... :)

I find it slightly annoying, that I get a loading screen, when I switch back from the map to the cockpit... I think, this could be improved.

My loading screen when swtiching back from the map is very short, under 1/2 second, not enough time to read the hint. I have, however seen a loading screen that lasted longer, usually when I switch back and forth quickly.I've seen reports of other people who had longer loading screens. Not sure of the cause.Hook

Seriously, when is one able to access the map during flight versus not, by pressing the M key?I tried it a few times yesterday whilst flying an activity and it did not pull the map up.

The map is only available during free flight.

Well that explains it then, thanks for the info!

Yes I agree. Until I get more familiar with the locations, I'm never sure which way to line up for the runways during missions until I'm close enough to see them on the birds eye view. I would like an option to bring up the map during missions just so I could be a point of reference.

The diamond is always at the correct end regarding the current wind direction..i.e land from the end where the diamond isbestjake

That's a good reference yes, but what I mean is I'm not sure if I'm heading in the proper direction, or if I need to circle around. At least until I can see the direction of the runway.
