Measuring distances and angles on the map (Solved)

[IckyATLAS]

It seems that we have a tool to measure distances on the map that we can display ingame by hitting the O key.

I was not able to have it. On the map we have the mission data displayed, the player plane specs and that's it. We can zoom in and out, but I can find no tool to measure distances or measure a heading.

What is the trick here?

 

P.S.

However on the editor map yes we can do this when building a mission.

Upper-left corner of the map display.

I play on a 42" full 4K screen and there is just nothing on the upper-left corner of the map display. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the full screen shot:

Here you can see the line controls in the upper left corner. Really don't know why you are not seeing it.

Try a quick mission and see if you get the tool.

Found the error, as usual from my side. I was working with the previous version.

I keep separate the new and the previous version. This is to check issues with my missions before changing. The version I work on is not through the launcher, so I was still on the older version. The new version has indeed the ruler and it works fine in mission too. That is excellent  because I have missions where you have indication to fly a given distance on a given heading. This will make the flying with a map more realistic. Thanks to the devs.
