Annoyed that you can't save worldmap filters? Me too! Luckily, it is fixable.
(Fun fact: the game would save your filters the first week of release but it has been broken since)
This file is using my personal preferences, which are probably not yours - edit the XML file contained to your preferences.
Installation:
- Unzip file
- Place the "fixes-worldmap" folder in the "Community" folder (location depends on where you got MSFS)
- Edit xml file fixes-worldmap/worldmap/WorldmapFilters.xml to customize the default settings
Editing WorldmapFilters.xml:
The filters come as a bunch of sections.
The first few (MAP_BACKGROUND, WEATHER_LAYER, WEATHER_WIND_PARTICLES) are special, and you have to edit the string contained within the <MapType>, <WeatherLayer>, or <AltLevel> fields to choose what you want. The options are the same as the options you'd see in the sim, so for MAP_BACKGROUND, you should write "SATELLITE", "BLEND", or "IFR" (without quotes).
All the other ones are super simple - the <FilterID> field tells you what it is, and you simply set <OnOff> to "ON" or "OFF" depending on what you want.

Even editing the xml file, I can't leave the fauna markers checked on the map.

This is a truly excellent MOD. You choose the filters you want and it can show as much, or as little, info as you want to have just the POI you want/need to plan your flight. A well deserved 5 stars.

Excellent work, I'll download it as soon as I head home. Btw, I was wondering if could it be possible to save the aircraft settings too. I fly everytime with the same payload and it's just a pain to actually insert those numbers again and again.

You always wonder how difficult can it be to keep such simple features working... I guess it is all about the 50+ branches Asobo is working on...or?

Can we modify the airport markers to add the ICAO code to the name with this fix?

Bonjour
Es ce qu'on peu modifier les marqueurs des aéroports pour ajouter au nom le code ICAO avec ce correctif ?
