Airplane icon on map?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello!

 

I am new to IL2, is there a way to enable the airplane icon on my map until I learn the area? I am on "Custom" for difficulty (so I can start with a warm motor)? I know I will learn the map, but that will help dyslexia me learn it faster :)

 

THANKS~

You cannot change it during the mission, but you can find it in the realism settings.  Look for navigation markers or similar (not at my pc right now). If you have it on,  there should appear a "My Plane" button on the map, which will center the map view above your plane's location.

Sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part, I have nav markers checked, but there is no button to center on my plane that I see

I think if you use THESE settings (obviously it's not ALL of them, I was just using a process of elimination!)2023_2_8__20_59_3.thumb.jpg.297ac4b83f41dc3d56099d7437c6acdb.jpg

Hope that helps...

Also, to centre on your plane then click on the 'Mission Route' button.

Is that the same Sergent that was a Batman to a Brigadier in one of the earlier wars. And I believe his son made some sort of car/plane/boat contraption. :rofl:
