Alright, so anyone who has previously tried to use radar on the orb radar knows that they don't scale properly. Well, I tried fixing it, and here's what I came up with. To install, put the tbm in your mediavps_3612/data/tables folder, and put all the .dds into the mediavps_3612/data/hud folder. All images are from Galemp's radar icons set, just rescaled.

Tell me what you think, and what things should be changed. (I know the fighter/bomber icons are a little small, but the alternative is that they are twice as big, slightly pixelated, and crowd up radar space.)

Ugh, rar files
---
This should prove useful till someone gets around to improving the 3D radar.  Thanks.
One question and a comment:
FSPort seems to still be using the default icons; how do I change this?
ALso the fighter icons have needed some anti-aliasing applied from the get go, and the scaled down icons are no different, someone should redo those at some point so they use thin lines like the rest of the icons.

rar files?  7-Zip!  (Set 'system' to associate all file types available {except maybe image file types like .iso etc}, set 'settings' to "show .. item", "Show system menu", "Full row select", "show grid lines", and, if available, "use large memory pages".  Set "View" to enable "2 panels (F9)" ... At least, that's how I like mine.  .rar becomes just another archive.

@BirdofPrey:

Try copying the entire HUD icon package into the data directory for FSPort_MVP and see what happens.

Yeah, anti-aliasing would be nice, but preferably it'd be on-the-fly flash AA, not prebaked blurring. Also, the lines for the fighters/bombers should be comparably thin (I think) to the other ships. The icons themselves are just tiny, so the lines might look smaller in comparison. (On my rig at least, the fighter icon lines are 1px wide or less)

I did it in the normal FS2 Data and it is online(...screen) in FS2
In FSP i´ll copy in to datas.

Uh, it works, but it's not recommended. NEVER put any mod stuff into the normal FS2 folders. You risk incompatibility problems when loading various mods on top.

Also, if you want the icons in a mod, simply add the unique mod ships to your table, and it'll work. (The table I attached might already support all Blue Planet ships with all the FS2 icons instead of the BP team's own icons. It was a personal taste thing that I didn't want to mix and match two themes of icons, and "might already support" means that I can't remember if I modded my table before or after I uploaded it here)

Edit: Nope, I lied. I actually put a separate table in BP.
