Title: Gun Ship or Field position selection map in Hangar is Upside Down
Post by: Zener on June 26, 2017, 12:37:39 PM
I was working in off-line practice mode this morning trying to identify the various guns in the very large AF map (Large AF 4-mile).  This is using the Craterma terrain.  Example is AF 43, 48, or 54.

When you go into the hangar and select Gun Ship or Field, the map that displays is upside down.  It's also nearly impossible to read the type that small even if it was right side up.  Can that image be expanded just a bit to make it more readable, please?

I also noticed in the MA something weird about the guns also. I was in a F4U with a different skin other than the default last sortie and it was selected To be scored as attack. After I landed I tried to hop in a field gun since there was a tank on the field. When I selected a gun the position was occupied and then noticed my F4U changed to default skin and selected to be scored as Fighter....its some kind of bug but its very minor. You can just change it back to the skin you want manually. This only happened when a gun position was occupied.

Yes sir, thanks for that 1ijac.  It's certainly going to save me 36 flights verifying which auto ack gun is destroyed.   :D  I have all the other items and their respective numbers.

The real issue though is that of the map being upside down when viewed in the hangar when choosing a gun position.  The text on that map, even right-side-up is tiny.  Looks to me like if the map were enlarged maybe 30% or so it would still fit inside the chalk board frame thing yet still let you read which kind of mannable gun is which.  That and flip it right-side-up so the text isn't upside down.

For your original issue, I use the zoom function. Zoom also works with the CBM field maps.
In the hanger, you can use the arrow keys or the F8 pan key as well to adjust the view in real time.
