Fixed aircraft position, moving map

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 1	Hi, Question as in the topic. Is it possible to keep the aircraft static and have the map move, not the other way around? I think I went through all the option but could not find it. The way it works now is very confusing for me when flying. I would prefer to have the aircraft at a fixed position somewhere near the bottom of the screen and have the map scroll. I would like to see as much ahead as I can all the time. Right now it "flies" to edge of the screen and then jumps (or not). 70% of the map is behind me. I dont really care what's behind me. I understand it might make it harder to click on things, but it mostly moves so slow it would probably work just fine. Am I missing something or is there no option for such a (more common) display style? Edited 10/22/2021 6:06:01 PM by kowgli

Thanks for the reply, but that was not at all what I was asking. I just want the airplane to be fixed on the screen and the map to scroll. Not the other way around.

More like 80/20 going to 60/40 then redrawing back to 80/20. (It was you mentioning an HSI like display in your previously unedited post which misled me)
