I gave it a try to get just the flight plan (path) to the ingame map, but it's not doable with the settings:
[ ] 'No Map Icons'
[ ] 'No Map Path'
= AC Icons & Path
[X] 'No Map Icons'
[X] 'No Map Path'
= Naturally blank map
[X] 'No Map Icons'
[ ] 'No Map Path'
= Also a blank map
[ ] 'No Map Icons'
[X] 'No Map Path'
= AC Icons, but no path.
How do you usually navigate?
The red and blue planes on the map kills the fun of spotting bogies and a fair game. Good to hear that the briefing screen will improve, but having it in the in-game map too would help due to my poor photographic memory.
