Is there a way to replace the graphical moving map with a 2d map

[Phantomworks 0]

It would be great if you could substitute the current in game  satellite game graphical map view with a 2d map with names of areas etc. For example for the SF2 VAXP Vietnam mod, there is a great map in the briefing and map screen. Could you mod so that you can see that map when pressing M in flight?

Thanks,

Very interesting.

Not possible, but I like the idea. Unfortunately, the game is programmed this way. We don't have the source code, and we cannot force the game to show something else when pressing M in-flight. By pressing M, the game is programmed to show the terrain and its tileset from a sort of bird's eye view.

Think a similar topic has been discussed before, and one of the ideas was to simply print out the bmp/jpg map file (the Planningmap).

Old planningmaps are without a grid, but this can be added with a paint prog.
