TSD map background concern

[flo57100]

Hello there,

A concern I have regarding the map background on the TSD, will we really have the map background as it is shown on Wags' videos ?

Although it is OK for "high flying" aircraft like the A10 or the F18, it might not be practical for low flying helicopters when looking for terrain details like elevation lines, rivers, roads, crossroads, forests etc etc. For that, in my opinion, the background on KA50 ABRIS would be a much more convenient for helicopters in top of trees tactical flight (Looks likes it is basically the F10 map), as you can every reference/point of interest on the terrain

In one of the TSD Videos ( I can't for the hell of it recall which one) he explains how to change the background and shows at least one other option

There are multiple options available to you.  The Chart is just one option.  You can also bring up Satellite imagery (not live sat video, just pre-loaded imagery), or digital terrain shading that allows you to visualize the terrain in front of you. Or if you want, you can remove the map underlay altogether.  It will be very useful.

You dont have to worry about that there will be more options.

I wonder if, in the new Hellfire II video, that the map is using the digital terrain shading? 

Like does red indicate the terrain is higher than your altitude, etc?

Yes, red indicates terrain higher than your altitude. It is explained in this video
