In game map

Here is an idea...
How about adding a full size map (open with the M key or other) and a optional mini map.

 

This is a good idea for larger maps. Most of the current maps are quite small and don't really need a map, but when bigger maps are added having a map will be helpful.

 

yea a map would be great for beam...just one more thing to make the game even better!!!

 

IT would also help with racing because you could make it so you can see the course for track racing and auto/rallycross. Then for your rallying you wouldn't and you'd have to rely on either a copilot (the real way) or you get to see the checkpoints. GTA V did the rally's where the copilot can see the checkpoints and the driver cannot and you must rely on communication to succeed. I think that'd be cool in this game.

 

BUMP. I think this is a necessary feature the game is missing. Some of the vehicles like the ETK's already HAVE a WORKING Nav-System in them! So why can't we see it on the HUD?

 

You mean as an app? That already exists.

 

Of the 12 User Interface Apps, I don't see anything that fits the description of a map. Can you link me, please?

 

I I understood you correctly then you mean this one:

Also 12 apps? There are a lot more than 12!
What version are you on?

 

Well, that only covers a small area of the map, maybe, there would be a key with a full map, you could click on a destination and it could show you a route to the destination

 

This looks like what I want, but I how do I access that screen in BeamNG? I don't see it under the menus or options... and I have the lastest Steam version.

This is the page I was looking at: http://www.beamng.com/resources/categories/user-interface-apps.10/

 

Oh I see. I was talking about the menu tab for apps in game.
To access that menu you'll have to enable advanced funtions in settings. When that is enabled you'll get a few new tabs on the left side menu. One of them is a tab for adding or editing ui apps.

 

I have "enable advanced functions" checked under the "gameplay" options... how do I access the Apps menu? Sorry for being a noob, but I can't find it anywhere in the GUI/menu screens, can you lead me to a quick tutorial?

Thanks,

Maybe map app working like map in 18 wheels of steel?

 

Hahah but it's so much fun getting lost in Tennessee...

there is an optional minimap, although the idea of expanding it with a key press would be intersting, like how it is done with ray's minimap for minecraft
