Mouse Control

Although the Map provides a manual Zoom bar and scroll bars, the easiest way to move the Map and zoom in and out is by using the mouse buttons.

Zoom in	Hold down the left mouse button on the map (somewhere other than a WP) and the Map will automatically Zoom in. The speed is adjustable in Preferences.
Zoom out	Double-click the left mouse button will Zoom out in steps.
Move	Right-click on the part of the Map you want to move to and it will centre on that point. Repeatedly right-clicking at one point on the Map will keep you moving in that direction.

Adding and Deleting Ships

You can both add and delete FGs while in the Map. To delete the currently selected FG just press the Delete key, to add a FG, use the Icon Palette:

Icon Palette
The Palette button will bring up a display of all of the available Ship icons.

The up and down arrows will select the IFF of the FG you add. To add a FG, just click on the ship type you want and drag it onto the Map to place it.

View Filters

This panel contains the IFF Filter. The 3 colored buttons represent the 3 IFF colors. An IFF is displayed only if its button is pushed in. The fourth button determines whether objects are shown.

The All button will reset the filters to show all FGs.

..
There are 2 other options to limit the displayed FGs:

FG List
This button will bring up that Map's FG List on the left side of the Map. You can multi-select this list to display any combination of the ships in the mission. (Selections here will override the Filter buttons.)

Current FG Only
Displays only the Current FG. While this setting is on, you can change the Current FG using the Selection box or the FG List.
