Hello and many thanks for DBW,

In UP3 my minimap is new version, zooms with mouse scroll wheel, displays runways direction.

In DBW (with Ecran Wide activated) I have old style (4.09) mini map with old airstrip icons and right click to zoom.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Cheers:)

It's not included in DBW. I have the PAL Mini Map 2.4 mod in my #DBW folder to have it in the game.

I see, cheers!

Just tried it and there a bunch of distortions and mismatched textures when used with Ecran wide mod which I have to use, so I'll stick with old mini map for now.

Don't understand your issue with PAL Mini Map 2.4.  It works and looks fine with DBW using Ecran Wide, essential features for me too.  Just put it in your #DBW folder.  If it looks wrong or wierd to you, can you post a shot to illustrate what you mean?

Ok, so in "Normal mode" it has a faint texture above the minimap and also the airfields still do not have directional icons.

In navigation mode it is very wide (maybe its supposed to be?) but does have directional airport icons.

Borsch,
              I'm the author of the MOD. Exactly, that's the idea!

-The normal mode is basically the stock one with scaled icons and just a semi-transparent frame, but with the proportions of the original minimap.

-The navigation as its name says, shows you the airfields, depicting the direction of the runways and the proportion of the frame is the same of the original map, it means: if you have a perfectly square map, you will see a pefect square, if you have a very wide landscape map (as the Crimea you posted), you will see a very wide one. The idea is that zooming down enough you will have the full map fit in the frame. That's the idea of a navigation map. After returning to one of the other modes, the proportion will be restablished.

  I considered this a reasonable approach, matter of personal taste obviously and not neccesarely everybody will agree, but the MOD works like this.

  Regards,
                      Pablo

Many thanks for your reply and for sharing your work, Pablo!

I understand and agree with your logic for navigation map. Maybe it would be good to replace all old airport icons with directional ones on all types of map -including Normal?

One thing I do not understand is "normal mode is basically the stock one with scaled icons and just a semi-transparent frame"...
What is the point of the "semi-transparent frame"?
