A ?? RE: the in game map's 'scale':
« on: December 28, 2019, 07:44:58 PM »

Gang:

When I flew 'vanilla' IL2 I could change the map's scale by right clicking on it; now in BAT right clicking changes what type of map I have (normal;nav; radar mode etc); however, given I'm a horrible cheat, I like to be able to adjust my map so I can see the enemy flights and 'suss out' the best way to get an advantage. Does BAT have anyway to change the map's scale?

TIA

still stuck without my gaming rig, so can't refer to it, but if memory serves, i think if you click on the map (left click?) you can then use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out of the map. is this the 'scaling' you are referring to?

Thanks, that's what I mean. I have a 'trackball' mouse and no wheel but since it can be done, I will have to monkey around.

You must ensure that the mousewheel is not set up to control one of the aircraft functions in order for it to work with the map..

Sadly so far, left click on the trackball mouse only allows me to 'pull' the map around not shrink or enlarge the scale.

More to follow, someday.
