 Additionally you can define if the program should automatically switch to the [[features:map]] module after a position change respectively to the [[features:statistics]] module when an approach is started.
+FS-FlightControl calculates the runway take-off position internally as the location of the very end of the runway plus 50 m towards the runway center. But optionally you can change this to use a defined starting position of the scenery (if available). As these starting positions are sometimes located at the holding point instead, this option is turned off, by default.

 Additionally you can disable the automatic re-center of the map and clear aircraft trace (if enabled) after the aircraft position has been changed from the flight simulator itself (after there was a crash, for example).
+By default, true bearings are shown when the measure function is used. This can be changed to magnetic bearings here.
 There is also an option to enable or disable the display of scenery source files in the [[features/map#map_information|map information]] dialog: This might help with identifying issues during database build.
