Much, much better map now. It's amazing how little things can make such a huge improvement.

(no pun intended)

Thank you fly_zo.

[fly_zo]

yup, thanks guys

hope that dynamic campaign creators will find it useful .... nothing is worse than map full of big icons covering one another when trying to track progress

Can we alter the size and shape of the pad? And where are the textures for the actual map that is displayed to be found?

I'm trying to make it look like a radar screen and therefor need to know these things.

Nice Zo. Thanks.

Zorin - the actual inflight map is the ed_map01.tga etc that is in the MAPS directory for each map.

Where do I find them? I made a search in my IL2 root directory and no luck.

@fly_zo: Any idea if it is possible to stop the stretching of the pad?

nope .... you should calculate stretching when making pad file ....

and displayed maps are part of map files (2-3 sizes per map) ...ed_m01/02/02.tga ... you have only option to edit padcelluloid.mat to get some unified changes

but i believe Bee has done some incredible job simulating radar .... PM him

Fly_zo can you make the white plane on the map invisible please. So I can get rid of it even if a server has it I wont rather fly without it.

well, if i do then you will no longer have icons for other flights present on minimap cos they all share same file ....

anyway its rather easy to do .... just edit "plane.tga" in graphic editor .... make just dot of it ( watch for alpha channel ...)

PM me if need more assistance ....
