It happened to me too. There is a option (new?) in the map, called "User something", with 3 buttons. Try with all of them, as one of them, the one that lets you measure distances at least, does not allow for map zoom, or at least that was my experience.

In relation with the topic, I also have to agree. I don´t like the new map at all.

Of all the things on the list to fix, I can't believe that this was one of the ones they chose.

I agree with the sentiment. I've stated this before: while I agree that there are 'more important things', I still think this should be removed. I can't imagine it was a particularly taxing thing to implement, and reverting it back to a pre-beta state would, I hope, be very easy for the devs.

I don't have high hopes that they'll change it back, frankly, which is why I posted up asking for a community fix. That won't happen overnight either, but it's a start. I can't for the life of me understand why they thought it would be a good idea; to please the 'old hands' from IL2 1946 remains my only guess, but it's eye-jarringly out of place. But, if enough people say 'remove the border' then maybe, just maybe we'll get lucky... if not, it's in the hands of the community.

ive no doubt a simple dump (LOL) could probally have that border modded. but Clearly guys it might be a placeholder. by friday it may be different. i dont believe for 1 second they deliberatly designed it that way.

I liked the old map. The border does take up a lot of room.

Thanks for the replies gents, lets hope we get the opportunity to change it!

The map's fine. The border is horrible, it looks incredibly out of place (probably because it's a decade old texture) compared to the rest of the UI and takes up loads more screen space.

Of all the things to port over from Il2 1946, the map border wasn't one of them. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I put this here to encourage a community fix as one is unlikely to be forthcoming from 1C.

Oh, thanks awfully for moving here so no-one will see it. At the very least, if you must move it, move it to the Modding forum as it is a mod-related request.

Cheers a bunch KG, guess we know which way the wind blows now. Are you actively trying to alienate the game's fanbase, or are you just miffed I picked you up on being snarky?*

*if it wasn't KG26, then I apologise - but would still like it moved to the mod forum, not here.
