I cant remember what utility or hotkey was needed but I remember there was a map you could bring up and it would show all your current air earch coverage by showing the radius all filled in with light yellow IIR.Anyone know what I,m babbling about?

I think this was one of the map overlays in the Tracker utility.

nope not the Z key,i just tried it. That only gives you the range arcs. The one Im thinking of would shade in the areas being searched.Was very helpful when setting up search planes from different locations to make sure of your coverage. Beggining to think it was some third party tool,like tracker,although trackers not it.

What you are looking for is in Tracker. You must have the map loaded in Tracker for it to work.

Gawd - my first pc! IIRC the monitor was 16x48 characters, and the cassette wasn't the most reliable storage in the world.

The Z key does give for me the areas under search. [&:]
