The Radar Panel

The radar panel is the right-most section of the console. It houses the radar and its controls. The radar displays a top-down map of the terrain and locations of nearby objects, both allied and enemy. Some of the controls also affect the Target HUD.

Circular blips represent air forces, squares ground forces, and triangles weapons.

Allied forces are displayed in light grey. Enemy forces are displayed in green (black in the black and white colour scheme) when they are directly on the flight path (and therefore easier targets) fading to red (mid-grey in the black and white colour scheme) for those far from the flight path

The colour of the flight path arrows depicts the occupation of the terrain. Red is for enemy occupation, green for allied, and grey for civilian.
