Fixed aircraft position, moving map

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 1	Hi, Question as in the topic. Is it possible to keep the aircraft static and have the map move, not the other way around? I think I went through all the option but could not find it. The way it works now is very confusing for me when flying. I would prefer to have the aircraft at a fixed position somewhere near the bottom of the screen and have the map scroll. I would like to see as much ahead as I can all the time. Right now it "flies" to edge of the screen and then jumps (or not). 70% of the map is behind me. I dont really care what's behind me. I understand it might make it harder to click on things, but it mostly moves so slow it would probably work just fine. Am I missing something or is there no option for such a (more common) display style? Edited 10/22/2021 6:06:01 PM by kowgli

Not really the point. You could have the airplane fixed at the center of the screen. Could be an option. It's just very confusing for me to have the airplane move instead of the map. It's not how most navigations (including car) work. It could have been designed this way years ago because of performance. It's much less demanding to move a single icon instead of redrawing the whole map, but that's not really a problem anymore on modern hardware. To recap... There is no way to do this in the current version? Edited 10/24/2021 8:05:34 AM by kowgli
