Flightplan: The currently loaded flightplan will be drawn on the map.
Tracking Mode: In “Track Up 360” tracking mode, the map will
always rotate to follow the aircraft’s current track, i.e. the current track
will always point upwards. In “Track Up Arc” mode the map behaves
in the same way, however, the aircraft position will move from the
map centre to the lower middle. When the compass rose is displayed
in “Track Up Arc” mode, it will be drawn as a 120° arc only. The
display mode resembles the ARC mode which is popular with many
EHSI displays. Finally, tracking mode “North Up” means that the map
is fixed in a north-up display position. The aircraft’s position displayed
in the map centre, and the aircraft symbol does change it´s orientation
according to the current aircraft’s track.
Nav-Data: This option corresponds with the setting “Aircraft Status”
in the external FSMap application. You may cycle through “No Data,
“Nav Data”, “Full Nav Data” and Weather Data”. When “No Data”
is selected, the screen is clear of any information. “Nav Data” shows
the next waypoint in the upper left, the course to that waypoint in
the upper right, the distance in the lower right, and the map zoom
factor in the lower left corner. In “Full Nav Data” mode, the displays
are amended to read out the current ground speed (lower right), and
altitude and barometric pressure (lower left). When working with the
“Weather data” mode, the upper left display box has the wind speed
and -direction instead of the next waypoint. The upper left info box
displays the current temperature as TAT and OAT.
Traffic: Activates or deactivates AT-Traffic overlay display. The amount
of AI traffic being displayed depends on the chosen TCAS mode (see
TCAS configuration earlier in this chapter). Please keep in mind that
displaying AI traffic may significantly slow down the performance of
the FSMap instrument in Flight Simulator.
Compass Rose: Activates or deactivates the display of the compass
rose in either full (360°) or Arc (120°) mode.
