Galactic Almanac MFD Unit
Name	Galactic Almanac MFD Unit

TL Availability	8

When activated in flight the MFD is shown in a transparent window in the left hand corner of the screen.

As you cycle through the compass targets with the # key, the MDF updates to provide information on the currently selected Advance Space Compass Target. (Sun Selected)

Planet Selected as the Advanced Space Compass Target. If you have OXZs installed which add planets, moons or gas giants these are automatically added as Targets on the Advanced Space Compass and the MFD in addition to the Main Planet and Sun.

GalCop Main Station Selected as the Advanced Space Compass Target.

The MFD automatically provides information on all Stations, Carriers, Ships and Satellites transmitting Beacons readable with an Advanced Space Compass (Carrier Selected).

Fuel Satellite Selected as the Advanced Space Compass Target.

The MFD will also provide information on ships, carriers, stations and asteroids which are not transmitting a Beacon, provided that you have target locked the object with the R key. Without a target lock, the MDF is limited to providing information only on objects which reveal themselves with a Public Beacon transmission. Range is limited to 25 KM unless the target is transmitting an ID Beacon. (Adder Target Locked and selected as the Advanced Space Compass Target).

Overview

This Page is Under Construction. The MFD will be included in Beta Version 1.5 of The Galactic Almanac OXZ. The current version available is Beta 1.4 as I need to finish off the Data Base table the code uses to credit OXZ ships and stations to their in-game design companies. This is taken from the Wiki entry or the writers read-me file to keep the expansion cannon and matching up with the game's lore. If no fictitious company is given on the Wiki or by the author then I've made up a name to reference the writer. The table below will form part of the documentation. It won't make much sense though until I add the rest of the text!
