IckyATLAS Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I use the yellow waypoint Icons target linked one after the other to have my waypoints displayed in the minimap during the mission. All fine and you have indeed your flight trajectory with each waypoint numbered from one to whatever number of icons you have. I have two Issues here with the text that is displayed with each Icon: 1) The text size is much too large and in the navigation minimap it becomes a jumbled mess of unreadable text. Can we control the text size. 2) I have my MCU waypoints set with a flight speed of 300 kmhr. In the minimap you have with each waypoint icon text the distance of the leg, as well as the speed and the time of flight. The speed shows 350 km/hr, the distance in km and the time in minutes. All is correct for the calculation except that I fly at 300 km/hr. So why it shows always 350 km/hr. Any way to correct that speed parameter?
Sketch Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) 1) Text size is based on the zoom level of the map. So I don't believe that you'll be able to set the text size to a fixed size. Users will just have to zoom in, in order to figure out the jumbled mess of text. 2) I'm not sure where it's getting the km/hr. Maybe it's being set by the waypoint speed? Maybe it's being set by the average speed of the plane? Edited March 25, 2020 by [TWB]Sketch
IckyATLAS Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 How do you zoom on a minimap, the map you have as you fly, on right bottom of the screen, activated by hitting the M key. I have only two positions. A large one that is a mess with the text, and a smaller one that is a zoomed version but you see just a very small portion of the map.
No_85_Gramps Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Don't think it's possible to zoom on the mini-map.
IckyATLAS Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 The other possibility is to hit the O key and have the whole map. Its okay on long legs.
Sketch Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 When I mentioned the text size, I was speaking about the larger map when you press 'O' (by default). I don't think you can zoom on the mini map, but I'm not certain because I don't normally play with that enabled.

I think by default the speed is set to the player plane's cruising speed, but you can override this by putting e.g. <routespeed>300</routespeed> in the description for the icon. 1

I suppose this is in the text file of the mission. I never touched this file up to now but maybe it is worth trying.
