The map icons for your own aircraft and friendly aircraft is already in game, no coding required. Its actually the exact reason I'm trying to promote this server

However, it doesn't show enemy aircraft, and there are no radar towers. If you think about it, showing enemy aircraft would end up badly because you could see exactly where the enemy is taking off and they'd never have a fighting chance to get speed or alt.

There's nothing wrong with it, but seeing enemy aircraft on the map is a little too far in my opinion, unless limited by range, and I'm not sure that's possible without coding, which is not something I'm capable of.

Edit: Just want to clarify, on you can see: friendly aircraft, your own aircraft, and Non-piloted enemy aircraft on the map (meaning planes that are objectives to be strafed, but will not be flown by ai or players)

You can also see friwendly and enemy aircraft information on screen in game. So if you see a 109, in fron of you, it will show in blue letter 109-e3, 2.2km.

You CANNOT see enemy aircraft (player or ai) on the map.
