The menu “Option” is used to define basic parameters for the
application. There´s an entry for an option to create backup files, and
to check modified panels for the most obvious configuration errors.
The option “safe mode” should be used when the FSMap application
has crashed upon loading a panel. Some aircraft addons have been
developed for use inside Flight SImulator only, and may therefore act
strange when the panel is called outside the simulator. In this mode,
some panel graphics may not display correctly, therefore this mode
should be deactivated when editing the specific panel has been
completed. “Use alternate Map Drawing Method” forces the application
to use a map drawing method which is more memory-consuming, but
less CPU-intensive, at the expense of a reduction in display quality.
“Assigned CPU/Core” allows you to explicitly assign a CPU core to be
used by the program.
Other options will allow you to define the online network to be used
(VATSIM or IVAO), the maps display quality and the maps refresh rate.
These entries are self-explanatory.
The “View” menu configures the main program look. You may turn
the side bar, the entry list and the status bar on or off from here.
