can you get a moving map to work instead of the radar?

[+dtmdragon 2,699]

Hay guys can you get a radar screen to display a working moving map? I tried changing the radar node to moving _ map in the cockpit.ini but the map is zoomed all the way out, offset to the side and doesn't function. I tried it with a 3rd party and stock TW SF2 cockpit.

 

Cheers,

the moving_map mesh needs to have a scaled mapping. The radar usually mapped for the exact size of the mesh, that is why you see the entire map on it.

depend on a persons taste resolution ratio of 1:16 to 1:64 (or even 1:96 or 1:128 for large maps) which give good view of the map.

 

In simple terms if a mapdisplay mesh is 0,1m*0,1m size then the mapping scale in max should be between 0,4*0,4m to 0,8*0,8m, but as I said, depend on the creator's taste.

or use an existing cockpit that already HAS the moving map display (like the A-7, iirc)

Cheers guys, was trying to get the F-111 cockpit radar scope to be a moving map to better represent a F-111D cockpit but its not possible as you guys have said with the current model.
