map navigation

[Colmaniac]

I tried the tutorial but doesnt say how to do it. Easy enough on a top down display but how do you plot a course on the lateral plain? I can tilt the map, I remember on the older games you clod hold down the mouse button and drag the waypoint nav up or down the map, but doesnt work in x4 or im doing it wrong.

Let me know if you figure it out.

You can right click stations to directly fly to them, but waypoints or orders to place satellites seem screwed thus far.

On that note, I've realized mass satellite placement orders have caused many useless satellites due to vertically offset stations. oops.

I haven't found a way yet either. Would that be called the Z axis? Transverse plane? Not sure which directions the game handles as X Y and Z.

"Pilot, set course for upsydaisy vector!"
"...REALLY?"
"Which one of us can dock without spending 5 minutes ramming a space station again? Little miss '4 star piloting'?"
"I'll be quiet..."

Guess this hasnt been implemented yet :(. I found a way by accident I was able to hilight an object (yellow box) on an objact you canot plot a map couse too, and it gave me the poi on screen to fly too. This does make it much harder to find objects that you cant select to plot a couse much harder :(.
ADDED :- ok the non selectable icons on the map, you can hover the cursor over the icon, then if you havent changed the keys, press T that should highlight the icon and show it in your hud. Works for POI`s, loot boxes, dropped cargo, etc.
