zerO_crash Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Hi, I'm not too versed with the NS430 yet, but I noticed that on multiple maps, the GPS doesn't show any terrain for me. The most I can get is blue layer for sea, but otherwise, what should be land appears black for me. I tested this both with cold-/hot- started aircraft (and NS430). I am getting this on Kola, Marianas (modern), Cold War Germany, and even Caucasus. I'll edit the post with pictures when I get access to my PC, but in essence, this is the same problem that was reported back in November 2022. Otherwise I have a fresh vanilla install (no mods, recently cleaned and repaired), and running Meta Quest 3 VR. -=zerO=- [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Hiob Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Afaik, the Garmin only shows blue and black. Same in all other flight sims. I think that's just the way it is...... The symbology (airspaces etc.) only shows at certain zoom levels. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
zerO_crash Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago Interesting. I looked additionally at a tutorial for it, and indeed there is no ground drawn in map mode. Seems like the initial implementation was off then. Good to know [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Maybe the first implementation was just “artistic freedom” "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
zerO_crash Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Very possible. That said though, I do like pure coordinate oriented vector maps. Practically speaking, a color map with this resolution of display (even with zoom levels) would hardly yield in orientating oneself according to terrain. Low altitidue flight at most, but higher up, there would be too much detail omitted. This is anyways a magnificent step-up from non-corrected INS. On a second note - we'll have to push as a community for a handheld Garmin, such that there is something to fit in any cockpit. I'll see to it that the discussion get's revived in a relevant thread.
