Moving Map ( F10 map alternative ) free download - released

We are releasing the Moving Map BETA ( F10 map alternative ), for free. Download and install instructions are on discord. The ingame F10 map can be resource intensive since it loads 3D terrain. This mod is 2D so it doesn't affect VRAM.

It works for 2D and VR via OpenKneeboard (any module, limited interactivity) or with the Heatblur F-4E ingame browser (best interactivity).

Please note, that this is still a BETA and lacking some features of the DCS F10 map. The goal is to become a fully featured F10 map replacement, as development progresses. If you want to support the development and get access to more apps, consider becoming a patron.

Thanks to our patrons for making this possible.
Thanks to our co-developer ops for developing the DCS hook.

A little trailer for a free little mod. It turns Caucasus into something like Scandinavia, or in other words "A poor man's Kola". Barthek's Caucasus textures were used in making this trailer, another mod I'd highly recommend.
