Ok cheers CY6, that sounds ideal
No unfortunately, at the moment you have two choices :-
No mini map path - when enabled all this does is remove the waypoints and flight markers from the map (or navigation map if using benitomusos mod). The players plane is still located on the map
No map icons - when enabled this removes all map icons (ground, air, sea) from map except for players icon
If you disable both of the above, you get nothing on the map at all, no player icon, no ground icons, no waypoints etc
Ideally would like to have an option just to remove the players icon from the map, that way you would still have some situational awareness of what is going on around you, position of wingmen etc. And waypoints would still be on the map but you would not know the exact position of your player plane, and would have to carry out some form of navigation to determine your position with respect to the correct course.
In my opinion it would make the game more immersive, say for example a route had been plotted to direct you between two heavily defended flak zones, it would be in your interest to stay as much as possible on the correct course. You could judge your deviation from the course from the waypoints on the map and the navigators reports you recieve.
At the moment a look at the map gives you the exact position of your plane, the only way to not show the players plane is if you select the above two options then you do not get waypoints marked on the map and do not really know the correct course to follow anyway.
Bit of a long winded answer, hope i made myself clear
Like i said earlier Benitomuso has said it is possible. I have no modding experience so i have no idea how difficult it would be to have things as they are with just the players icon removed from the minimap.
cheers CY6
