Hi,

Do you know how to change the color player on the map ?

I want to change yellow to red for more visibility.

Thanks for your answers

two other issues with the map i was wondering about...:

1: the map is always oriented in a way that start/finish-lane is horizontal. For real-world tracks, it would be nice to have it north-up. is there any way to display it rotated? Didn't find out yet..

2: scaling... for larger tracks, everything is scaled down so that the map can be shown completely. Unfortunately, the dots showing the cars are also scaled down, so for a larger track it is almost impossible to see them at all... so i think it would be better to scale the map down, but leave the dots in a standard size..?

Press 'm' to cycle through different orientations of the track map, which includes turning it off.

well, ok- so maybe this is a feature-request for next version :-)

i know i can change representation style, but if i view the full track, i would prefer to see it in a familiar way (north-up, as i know the track layout from every map, flyer etc), and i think it would also make sense to see the car-dots even if i view the full track

for explanation: this is as it is:
map_as_is.png
which has nearly no recognition value, as it is rotated, and no use, as you can hardly see the cars.

this is as i would like it to have:
map_better.png

would just need another entry in the track-xml, like "north direction" or so.

One of the track map orientations is a zoomed map where your car is moving "north" and the map rotates around it. Probably the closest to what you want. This is the map orientation that I use.

Oh dear, I completely misunderstood the issue. Sorry.

yeah, cool :-)

no need to port it back, i can live without it until it gets in release version. When will v5 track engine be released..?

i think it won't matter if i place "original bearing" in a track right now to be prepared for v5..?
