Map Options
Controlling the flight planning map area
• You can adjust a lot of properties related to the map area and to
the flight planning process
• Use either the key shortcuts, the controls in the OPTIONS tab,
the drop-down lists in the status bar, or the show/hide option
buttons on the right side of the screen
• The first section of the OPTIONS tab allows you to adjust its
opacity, switch between white and black background, and
toggle the grayscale mode

• In the next section, you can change the Theme. Doing so

changes the font of the text in the map, the color pallette, or the
map background color. Also, a different visual style is applied to
the mission data card. The following themes are available:
• Standard, High Vis, Cold War, WWII
• Also, you can adjust the size of various labels in the map, the size
of waypoint marks, or the size of aircraft symbols during mission
rehearsal

• The last section allows you to toggle the Snap-to mode, which
during dragging a waypoint (or other object) will snap it to
another object (e.g. a reference point, airfield etc.)
• You can also switch on/off the Autoname waypoints function,
which will automatically name a waypoint after an object it was
snapped to
• You can show/hide various map objects or make some of them
visible only for the selected route. You can also use the
show/hide toggle buttons on the right side of the screen.
