Anyone ever play Tie Fighter? Do you remember the inflight map?

I always felt something similar would have been a great addition to Jumpgate. The map was very simple but very functional, and at a glance showed you exactly what was the situation was. In realtime, it showed the distance of all visible ships from a flat plane grid. It also displayed their heading, but beyond that I don't remember too much. The Jumpgate version could have little subdisplays that shows fun data when you mouse over a blip insector, like target-of-target, estimated cargo mass (based off acceleration), and possible weapon loadout (if you've been insector when they fired their guns, your sensors could interpret the energy signature, blah blah). I figure if Tie Fighter could do it over a decade ago, the new Jumpgate could add a basic inflight map.

I spent 10 minutes looking for a screenshot, but no go. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Tie fighter was awesome, we need flight recorders too

Played all the X-wing/Tie- fighter games and this would be a great addition to the HUD.
