Sorry .... missed that. Will do.

Me say:
Only thing is, if I don't visit the system they can be totally blank of detail: no planets, no JG's or JH's, no fields shown, no b'ships, docking stations, etc. Not if I've surveyed it previously or passed through and sighted somethings. That why I don't mind visiting them and sometimes I "cheat" and have a look at our alphabetical listing here at Swat Portal but rarely. It spoils the fun of exploring.

..... You also can make screenshots with simple pressing PrtSc, which will automatically make .bmp image into "C:\Users\user\Pictures\Crossfire Shots\" folder. I then only crop image and save it as .jpg
Me say:
Yes I'm aware of all of that. But by habit I use ALT + PRTSCR because I used to always fly in Windowed Mode; ShareX takes a screenshot and stores it in a ShareX folder as a .jpg; the folder also graphically portrays each select screenshot and I cut, copy, paste, name the final "Picture 3" in MS Paint as a .jpg.
Its what you're comfortable with I think providing you get the desired, same outcome.

Well I think that's it for an Exemplar, although I await your advice first.
2 things:
1. Do you have a quick way of returning from the enlarged view of the map to the normal view? A the moment I'm using F1 >>>>> EXIT GAME and restarting. Bit painful.....
Edit: ALT + CTRL + DEL then Cancel seems to fix it. Don't know why?
2. Do you have a preference for the next system for me to do or maybe priorities?
Thanks. Awaiting your advice.

Quote Denne: there is a hypergate from new hongkong to inner core. u can see it in the intro video.

Thanks Denne. Ill have a look at the intro. video, but when I visited the system, I didn't see or find it. Heres the latest in game systems map for New Hongkong. (See attachment).

Edit 1: Oh! I'm talking about SP. MP is still a mystery to me .....

Edit 2: Although on second thoughts why are there 3 trade lanes meeting at location 3B? I need to check it out.....

Reply: Checked it out. Its called the New Hongkong Triangle. Nothing there other than the meeting point of three trade lanes.

1. Close map in game and then Alt+TAB to desktop and back, all is normal again
Reply: Thanks
2. No priorities. Simply use yours own progress path and when have any system fully mapped give me here system map for it and I will update portal wiki.
Reply: I'll' send them to you in batches of 10 or 20 say. Then you can make a batch of changes all at once. If you agree that is.

Martind? Do you think the Map Version should be included on the Map. ie. CROSSFIRE 2.0
Distinguish it from other versions eg, FL4.88 Maps or CF1.9 Maps.

I'm in New Hongkong now. I'll go and have a look ..... Thanks.

Bugger me!!!! There it is!!! What sort of explorer am I!!! Gees ..... please don't Mr Forlon ...... I'll loose my job! Has anybody been able to get through it? Did they build a matching gate at the other end, where ever that is/was .....? Thanks Denne. I'm in your debt.
Just another point. You mention the wiki-map. Are we talking about the same thing or am I missing something else?

Sorry. Yes we are talking about the same thing. Its just that I don't go there at the moment as I'm focusing on Sirius and what I see as its map short comings. I've really done no exploring in Altair other than look for that gate following your input. Even in Sirius I don't like looking a the Wiki System Maps until I've finished my exploration. It spoils the fun. I just haven't explored anywhere in Altair yet (other than New Honkong) and it was my fault for not checking its Wiki Map at my conclusion. Poor excuse but so be it. Thanks again mate ...... its been great fun for me. Have a laugh at my expense.

Personally I would prefer do not attach any special text to maps unless it really is a must. And if I will use your maps, there is easy identifier which is maps dimension. 2.0 have also gold font and different graphics for some things like asteroid fields, difference is quite clear on first look. If you like explore, then just have fun and upload map once you finish any system.

Ok. No problems. Quote: ".... I would prefer do not attach any special text to maps unless it really is a must ...."
That makes it easier for me. There is however, what I would call "a nice to have" coming up with the system map for New Hongkong. NH is in Altair so things might be different there. More about that later. We might not need new maps at all. ..... me >>>> ...... me >>>> ..... me >>>> .

" wombat1940 ..can you please take system map image with displayed Leon base? ... it should be show on such big map like you can get from game."

Am I right in saying you now have the satisfactory larger map (with Leon Base added by editing)? The large one you've shown above? Or is there still a problem with the added edited text for Leon Base? Colour? Font? etc?

Updates for systems are going on: here is Custodian and Sea of Shadows. wombat1940 is making rly nice maps.

Thank you. More to follow.
