Why do some mods show enemy planes in map mode

[1Patriot-of-many 14]

While some don't? How do I change that so all the mods I play show the enemy planes in map mode? I play on wimpy/easy settings 90% of the time.  Thanks! Bob

try these settings

go to your mod folder, for example c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\YOURMOD\Flight\

and delete 2 files HUDDATA.INI and MAPENEMYICON.TGA

restart game and game will use not modifed build in files. Do the same in all your modfoulders where you want to see all aircrafts on the map. NOT IN GAME FOLDER! Only in mod folders.

This question appears regulary, i think it have to be pinned somewhere.

renaming those 2 files will also return the icons. (ie: xHUDDATA.ini)

-------------------------------------

usually, and hopefully, the mod maker says something in their read mes to the effect "this mod contains modified inis that remove enemy icons from the in-flight map". Unfortunately, that's not always the case

Thanks guys. Easy "fix". Worked perfect, but you knew it would.
