player position indicator

[F.FE]

It is so hard for me to navigate on a map without knowing where I am. I know there is a mod for this but it is not available on many servers.

Can anyone provide a guide for this?

It shows you where you spawned on the map.

Current navigation system is realistic and devs plz dont change it to casual!

[ItIsntJack]

Its focused more currently for you to find and use your compass to navigate. I'm sure alternate options will become available by default later.

However, I hope that we can still keep the realist nav as my group prefers this.

If you near valuable Location it text you at bottom-right angle on the map

Wasn't star navigation once a thing in Flashpoint?

I believe it was.

Find some orientation-points in nature like special trees, powerlines, churches and stuff....
Transfer the angel from the compass to the map aligned to the orientation-point on the map.
Then do the same with a second point.
Where the lines cross, is your position.

Try to orient on streets and their angle or other prominent landscape characteristics.

Crossings, rivers, hills, exposed buildings... all these thing will help you.

For germans I can recomend the "Reibert" and for the englisch speakers SAS Survival Handbook The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere John 'Lofty' Wiseman

there was a mission where you had to make use of the northstar to navigate.
and how to find the northstar was described in the mission briefing.

throughout the whole OFP/ARMA series that was possible.
i think its the same in Reforger too.

compass map terrain features. its actually quite easy to find your way around if you can read a map

learn to read a map and compass its not hard...

[MrHooligan.]

this is a great opportunity for you to learn how to read a map! you wont have in indicator in real life. all of the towns are capture points, makes it way easier when you see it like that.

the island isnt too big, just take a week off of rl and go on holiday on Everon.
memorize it.
drive around, take a stroll, hike the mountains. youll never need a map or compass ever again ;)
