Secondary Monitor as Map

Recommended Posts

This would totally not be realistic and would not be a good idea to implement.. It's like having a map glued to your face.

You can say the same thing concerning GPS always on screen while running, shooting and going prone. I just want it off the main screen and onto a secondary.

Besides you will have to LOOK at that screen to gather any info/do planning and in the current system, the one implemented NOW you have to completely cover your face and can't see anything happening in the real world. Like that tank cresting the hill which you would see in your peripheral in real life.

Still totally cheaty. :) However with the newer ArmA/SQL tools out there you could probably make a 3rd party map that tracks your location via your updated position passed to SQL by some script.

There is this flight sim called Flightgear an open source wonder with a very skilled community. They created a java program called Atlas that ran in the back ground and displayed a map of the in-game world whilst transmitting your location to the external application in real time. Something similar for Arma 3 would be so useful for pilots and I think quite feasible for the A3 modding community to pull off. An example Video: http://bit.ly/1qVf15H
