implemented Map Scale ("blackscreen")

[KotPilot]

Hi,

i flight on Syria and noticed, when i zoom in on the map, it only turns black

 

anyone else with the same problem ? 

Or maybe im doing something wrong ?

Same here for Cyprus when I tried.

The magnified versions of the map for some of the terrains are still "work in progress" and will be added in future updates.

Works fine in Caucasus btw. Not every map has the high detail paper map yet.

I found some areas where it doesn't, I think I was somewhere between Mineralnye Vody and Cherkessk.

 

It's another reason why it would be beneficial if we could load custom images so long as they're the right size.

Yep first thing I noticed. I am sure they will fix it. Me and my friend have only had a short time in it and only use the Syria map. One thing I did notice was some major detail changes in that map. All for the better. I have made missions around that checkpoint near the Iraq, Syria border. It used to be a brick wall and pavement. Now it has buildings, lanes, lights and  chain fence. Have to edit mission now. I have a fence running through a Bradley. That area used to be pretty much flat with no detail. I was surprised to see the area have more details.

+1, a quick solve proposition: I also wish to be able to use an "ALT" view from Mission Editor as a map in Mi-24P.

Can we please get this addressed along with export moving map to 2nd screen, it stops me enjoying this amazing module.

I agree with everything here. Small map sizes would be nice, but if it’s any consolation I believe all modules suffer from not having maps of certain sizes. I think using the ALT map for zoomed in map when not available (such as flying outside caucuses) would be nice. Amazing would be an option to select ALT or current Navigation map. Though I like the navigation map, and would love to have the small scale. Which seems available if you zoom in on Syria in F10, but is not added to certain modules yet

On the first videos related to the Hind (DCS: Syria Map – Hind Over Latakia), the F10 map was displayed in the cockpit.
I don't know why they changed that afterwards. Maybe because it's more realistic to display real paper maps ?

More realistic sure. But what’s great about our Mi-24P, many people still operate it in that spec with little to no upgrades. In the modern day I don’t see it stopping anyone from printing out any map and using it. The manual has instructions for how to cut out a map and place it correctly. 
 

Im just glad this thread is marked/tagged as later in project, so there is some intention to make the map more comprehensive, and both modes to work in all maps
