Title: In-FLight GPS Sysytem

Get rid of it!

Lets get back to navigation skills.

Keep the map, ans some sort of radar reporting.

You would need a much more detailed map and a much more detailed terrain. This idea may be good for buff formations, that is, you pick up a buff formation, and your map has no "own plane simbol" nor autocentering.

MANDOBLE is correct.  We lack the reqired features (roads, rivers towns and cities) required to navigate to a target.

AH is a game.  Expecting players to be able to do instrument navigation to points they don't have a heading for is unreasonable.

Given the difficulty most players have lining up a bombing run now, requiring instrument navigation to the target (which, unlike fighters, must be precise and you must be level and at an even speed when you get there and have had time to calibrate) would put level bombing beyond the reach of all the the fanatically dedicated.

Why not as a option?

Some folks would likely have it disabled, others not. Make both parts happy.

It already is an option.

Just don't bring up the map.
