HOME just like in all battlefield games, u have a minimap in the top right corner.
everytime i open the map in arma2 while flying, i always have a fear of crashing to the ground because i cant see where im going because of the damn map!

This isn't battlefield.
Gain altitude then open map, and dont stay in it too long either.
I'm using a joystick, and I turned off all the mouse movements associated with plane controls so I wouldnt end up steering towards the earth when I'm in my map scrolling around with the mouse.
You dont need a map really, or if you do...its just to check the airspace (for me; ie radar contact) or to set a waypoint. Your HUD shows direction and has radar to spot targets/friendlies at the top of the screen. It works fine...a minimap would ruin it since it'd take up too much of my screen IMO
Right Ctrl + M for the GPS, most vehicles have it.
If you have a joystick, you could even be slick and bind the toggle GPS (which is the command bhaz is referring to) command to one of your joystick buttons.Originally Posted by bhaz
GPS is your friend !
intelligent response, thnx
Ctrl + M i did not know about, thnx
Well they should compensate for the lack of working map in aircraft.. I'd rather a working map in cockpit but...
I completely agree that while you're in aircraft that have this ability, it should be available, perhaps dependant on difficulty levels.. obviously when you have a smart player as co-pilot they help so you can focus on flying but a "mini radar/map" in aircraft would be handy.

Several aircraft/helo mods had moving mini-maps in ArmA1.
As well as working counter-measures, audible alerts (altitude, fire alarms, missile warning, etc).
We'll see this type of thing and more as the tools become available.

look at the map before you fly, remember your coordinate i.e south, east then pop out your GPS.
