The Map

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if someone could help with this. In Free Flight, I have no problem bringing up the map. But in missions, say, a freight one, my "co-pilot" will say something like "we're low on fuel, better bring up the map and find a place to get fuel." Well, the map doesn't come up in missions. Am I doing something wrong? Or, is this a "feature."

It's not you. The map doesn't come up. Would rather have access to the map and no destination marker, myself.Mike

No, the map does not come up during missionsThere are a couple MAPS posted here today, download and print them for reference.Here is a good one: http://forum.avsim.n...-no-more-m-key/Lets hope in the future they include some Jeppesen maps and charts, and remove the destination marker when possible.

The map is only available in free flight. I guess that's a "feature."Best to plan your trip before you take off, and use the top down view if necessary.Watch your fuel gauge closely (there's a 3 gallon unusable reserve if I remember correctly) and don't worry too much about the copilot. I can fly a lot farther than he thinks I can, especially if I lean the engine to the point that it just runs well.Hook

This is a bit of an oversight. I don't see why we can't have a map during missions, they just have to disable the teleport feature.
