Enemy aircraft on maps

[planecrazydale 0]

Hi all!

 

I was just wondering if there is a way to remove enemy aircraft from the map when I open it.

 

I would prefer to not know where enemy aircraft are lurking, and when I check my map while flying it always shows where the enemy are.

 

I was thinking that maybe there is a line of code or something that I can disable which will make enemy aircraft invisible to me on the map.

 

Thanks all and have a great day!

Hi Dale. Easy fix. Using the SFP1e extract utility, you have to extract the MISSIONCONTROL.INI from the FLIGHTDATA.CAT located in the Flight folder in the game's main folder. Open the MISSIONCONTROL.INI and scroll down to the Map section. Change the EnemyIcon= line by adding forward slashes to "comment out" the line. Save the file and put it in your Flight folder.

bitte. The only downside to removing map icons is that sometimes, in Single Missions anyway, a bug causes the enemy to all crash or they will not show up and you will be searching for planes that are not there. Realistic (not the crashing part) I suppose as I'm sure not finding the enemy happened alot IRL.
