a little dark, but night-ready

Very nice... Thanks...

Hi, first of all, thanks for this awesome mod (together with NG-HUD!), they make the game a lot better on they own.
I'm having a problem with the non-fullscreen map, though: it's being cropped at the top of my screen. That makes it really hard to use the navigator, since I can't see the top section which shows the sector letter.

I'm using 1920x1080 fullscreen, if that makes any difference. Also using it with VP modpack.
Any way to fix it? Did I do something wrong during the install? (I installed using JSGME)

Here's a screenshot of the problem:

Hi ltegalad,

To move the minimap around right and left click at the same time until the cursor changes and then drag the map. It is a stock feature. The game remembers the minimap position.

Clumsy and non-intuitive but functional

[ltegalad]

Wow, I didn't know about that, just started with the IL-2 series. Thank you for the information!

[whistler]

Welcome then. '46 is not the newest, but it is the greatest in many regards. Try also B.A.T. if you are hungry for more: fly anything from the first powered aircraft to modern jets and helos in a single sandbox.

Thank you! I did try Cliffs of Dover before, but somehow that one made me feel completely lost. There's something about 1946 that makes it more concise and also a lot of fun! I'll definitely be trying BAT at some point, just trying VP first since BAT is so freaking huge to download

Thanks for the work!
There is a request, Selecting the full map when pressed again, it is again small. Inconvenience. 

[whistler]

I know what you are talking about DaVa. There are two different controls in IL-2: 'Toggle Map' and 'Toggle Full Screen Map'. I have the Minimap set in my joystick and the Fullscreen map set to the Space bar.

The menu Full Screen check is just a toggle, and it does not mean 'Force Fullscreen'. I think most of the people use often the minimap and occasionally the fullscreen map and I stick to stock behavior whenever possible. I don't think I will change how this works because it could be more confusing than anything

Hi Whistler,

Thanks for the tip on setting the mini-map transparency.  And you're right on the mission brief.  Pay attention to the briefing, scribble some notes on my hand, tighten my Mae West, pull up my big boy pants, shoot down some bad guys, and survive the day.  PS your Random Skies is excellent!!
