Hello everyone. I've just downloaded UP 3.0, which is probably running before I can walk as I've only been playing IL-2 since December.

Everything's great so far except for one problem relating to the map.

The first time I went to the map I realised you could toggle through several functions not on the basic Il-2 map. Problem is I toggled to the "mission objectives" function and it's stuck there. No matter how much I right click, close and reopen the game, change aircraft, reboot PC etc.. the map is stuck on mission objectives.

Any advice on how to solve this problem greatfully received.

Thank you

hi, welcome to the forum, and all the madness that goes with it, lol 
diving in head first, eh? don't worry, i'm sure a lot of other guys have done the same.
i just need to clarify a few thing first - i'm not 100% sure of what you're asking here...
when you refer to map functions, are you talking about FMB?
i'm not on my gaming rig right now, and am a bit unsure of this 'mission objectives' function you refer to...
where exactly, and on which menu screen is this?
is it happening with a specific map, or all maps?
a screenshot might make things easier, if you know how to post pics?

Thanks for the reply. It's basically the inflight map (Ctrl M).

It now just tells me the Elapsed time; Time mission started; Enemy air kills etc... all very interesting but no use whatsoever for finding your way home.

I've managed to take a screenshot for the first time, but I'm having trouble posting it here for some reason. I will persevere.

for screenshots, you'll need to upload the picture to a picture hosting site ( i use photobucket), then copy the link into your post using the insert image option, just above the first smiley.

Ah, easy once you know how. Thanks a million.

ahh, okay, i see you are referring to the misson objectives feature of the benitomuso's minimap mod.
it'll be best for him to give you the exact info, but meanwhile i can say, depending on which version of the minimap mod that is, it was initially still a 'beta' feature, and wouldn't work properly.
i think it's since been fixed, have a look for his minimap mod thread, you might find some info there.
i'll find the link if you need, but i don't have the time right now.
meanwhile, best option is just not to use that specific feature. i'm guessing you're sitting with an earlier version, which was still a bit buggy.

edit: ok, here's a link to the minimap thread: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,8327.0.html
i'm sure your problem is related to an earlier version, where that particular feature was not fully implemented yet.
you can always post in that thread and ask for help if you don't solve it yourself, benitomuso will gladly help you out.

Wonderful, thanks for all the help. I've downloaded the latest version of the minimap but I'm still stuck with original problem so I'm guessing there's an original version somewhere I need to delete. I'll swith my efforts to that thread now.

Once more, many thanks for the help.

I've had this happen before, what I did to alleviate the problem is draw up the minimap and press down both right & left mouse buttons simultaneously for about a second or two.

[Rca53]

You diamond geezer, that worked wonderfully. Thanks both for your help.

glad to help, mate
