Is there a way to see my airplane on the minimap?

I currently have a minimap that only shows a red (presumably enemy) aircraft periodically. The map does not seem to be dynamic, never changes no matter where my plane is. I have tried the various settings as to what the map initially shows, but noticed no changes. Is there a setting I need to invoke to see my plane or will this be addressed in a future build?

Thanks for your patience, 

Chris

i would also like sometimes to see my plane on the minimap, for gps location.... 🙂 but couldn't find any keys to do that. in exams, for ex, it's shown. in quick missions, nope.

The mini map has several views you can skip through. Close view, flight path view, player to target, etc. You must have icons turned on to see your plane, and have a view selected that shows where it is on the map.

I think there are still some adjustments to be made, but it is mostly functional now.

Right, but where/what key turns those icons on? The Ctrl-H doesn't work

It's in your game settings where you set unlimited ammo and forever fuel, that sort of stuff.

I found the "Difficulty" button in the lower right just as you are about to begin a mission- here you can select icons on or off ("Object Markers"). But I have yet to locate a key binding or setting that shows the player's plane on the mini map: I'm beginning to think the Devs left it out-😔

Navigation Aids - ON, and there you be.

Unfortunately you can't turn off navigation markers (which I want to do) and still see your plane on the mini map (which I want to do).  Not sure if this is a bug or design decision.  This is possible in BOX.

Dash,Polder,

Thank you for taking the time to help us sort this. As another member said, it is unfortunate that the Devs have linked the aircraft icon and NAV markers on the map. Maybe they will change this. But for now at least I can more or less determine where the hell I am- 😄
