GPS Plane Markers Won't Go Away

[SnickersMcFlurry]

Hi, I'm trying to make some missions but can always see my plane along with everyone elses on the map, which kinda kills the immersion. Turning off navigation markers in quick play custom settings solves this problem, but in PWCG, it only removes my marker and not all of the blue and red teammate and enemy planes everywhere. Is this a setting in PWCG I'm missing?

As soon as I've posted this I see others have brought up the same topic recently, it looks like it has something to do with the blue "radar circles" in the game or something similar. Not sure how to mess with those

I was wondering the same thing for my Flying Circus Career Playthrough

I will have to see if spotters are active for WWI.   I am 99.9% sure that radar is turned off for WWI and for eastern front WWII, but spotters might still be on the ground.  If so I will get rid of them for WWI.

The icon_map_other_planes_off mod removes the other planes except for yours.  Here's a copy from my downloads:

Is there now a solution to this problem?
I can't disable the GPS in PWCG. No problem in the vanilla game. 
I don't know what the red radii mean.
I haven't played PWCG for a long time, but I know I haven't had the problem in the past.

Guess no one read my post.

Of course i read your post. Thx.

The icon map mod does not remove my plane.
And that is what I want.

Try this mod; it's what I use to remove all aircraft from all the maps.  It won't remove ground target icons from the mini-map, but otherwise works pretty good.

credit where credit due; this is where I found it:

Many, many thanks Fodder Monkey, czech693, and of course to the creator of the mod.

This is what I was looking for.
In the career of the vanilla game the map is now completely clean, in PWCG only the huge circles (90 km radius ?)  are still visible. That doesn't bother me any more. 
Great! Thx!

I am not able to make it work. See if anyone has an idea to help me.

I have downloaded and installed both mods, and load them with Jsgme:

• MapMod-NoUnits - Works fine. I can see every plane on map except mine.
• icon_map_other_planes_off - Doesn't work at all. I can see every plane and mine itself.

Coop setup is in custom option, with every checkbox unchecked, and I can confirm that jsgme works fine (it creates "cache/il2/map...).

Please, any idea of what am I missing?

 

[czech693]

Don't load both mods at the same time.  The MapMod is supposed to take everything off the map (including vehicles).  The icon_map mod just takes all aircraft off the map, except yours.  So, the two mods would probably be in conflict with each other.  What are you trying to remove from the map?

[E69_Outlaw]

Thank you czech693. I did so, one mod at a time, not together.

 

I want to remove all aircrafts (and vehicles), but I accept to keep mine in track; I am trying to launch a competitive campaign with my squad mates.

This morning I woke up thinking in uncheck "Restrict Injectors" option in coop parameters, but didn't work either.

 

GOT IT: In general game settings, "Enable mods" must be checked (of course).

Hi all,

Thanks for your mod @czech693 - is it possible to include a toggle in an in-game menu? I like to switch between career and pwcg in a session. Would be great to not have to restart the game and toggle the mod using JSGME to switch between the two.

 

[czech693]

It's not my mod.  I don't believe it can be toggled in game as it's an alteration of the map.dds.  I believe the author deleted the images for the other planes on that .dds.
