I have never been able to activate mine either. I have heard that this might be controlled by the mission designer, but I have no idea.

I think it is activated in the TrueMods mod that people have been running?

I run no mods and activate it using Ctrl-M.

Check your key bindings. You may have to restore them to default and set them up again if you;ve conflicted it with something else.

Right Control+M is default at least that brings mine up.

I bring my map up with the M key, but I tried Left Ctrl+M and right Ctrl+M but no minimap \:\(
And in the controlsetup I cannot find the setting MiniMap for giving it a key binding!
HELP!
Anybody knows? And are you sure everybody can get a minimap displayed or do you need a minimod or ini-fix for it?
Best regards, Kodiak.

Please, someone take a screenshot of this supposed mini-map so we can all see what you are talking about, because all CTRL-M does is bring up the GPS map.

There's the 2 versions of the GPS map and then Dslyecxi references "the 'ESC' MP map" which I am unable to pull up. I haven't been able to find a screenie of the "MP map" though \:\(

I think it's a mythical map. ;\)

Anyway all it would be of use for me would be having a quicker compass access than hitting K. I could probably map an extra mouse button to the compass with little trouble.

So the mini map is a larger GPS map. Ok, I have yet to be able to get that to work. No matter whether I go to default key bindings or not.

Yea same here, I use all default key binds as well. Never have I seen that GPS map in those screenshots.

BUT... they are all in aircraft in the screenshots, and I've never tried to load the GPS map in a aircraft.

From the Shack Tac link

"Because it must be added via the mission config, this will not always be present in a mission"

Rgt Ctrl + M - mini GPS map.

"Note that the GPS can be toggled either as a large, press-and-hold a key version, or a smaller, toggle-on/toggle-off version. Both can be extremely useful in aircraft and should not be overlooked. I recommend binding it so that pressing one key causes the large version to come up, while using Ctrl + that same key will make the small, toggle version show up."

SO if M is your map key Ctrl-M is small toggle version- not sure why mine only works with the right Ctrl , but thats how it is.

If you have changed your default map, then it would be hold ctrl + that button. to toggle.

Hope it works.

This post, all on its own, is worth the price of admission to this thread.

Thank you.
