[Fireball]

IMPORTANT: If you installed the previous beta version (MiniMap_b1), you need to download and install this new version as soon as possible. There is a bug in the b1 version that can cause your game to lock up under certain conditions.

This mod changes the way the mouse buttons work on the in-game minimap, and also the map on the briefing page.

- Click left button zooms in.
- Click right button zooms out.
- Click and hold middle button (normally by pressing the scroll wheel) lets you move the map around.
- Click and hold both left and right buttons lets you reposition the entire map frame on your display. This applies to the in-game minimap only, and is unchanged from the un-modded behavior.

The filename is MiniMap_b2.rar and is available here: MiniMap_b2.rar (The link is inoperative)

To install, extract the MiniMap_b2 folder in the rar file to the MODS folder in your IL-2 1946 game folder.

Notes:

- There is a conflict between this mod and the 6DOF mouse mod. The middle mouse button resets the view in the 6DOF mouse mod, and also is used by this mod. The conflict is caused by both mods using one of the same java files. For these types of conflicts, there is really no solution other than to try to merge the mods somehow. That might be something we can look at in the future.


Changes in version b2
==============+

- No changes in functionality.

No diggity.. Zo while you are here, didn't you make a mod that removes that ugly border from, the minimap or allowed us to make our own border? If so can you post a link to it.. I cant seem to find it in the search.
