Issues with the minimap
The minimap, which is the radar background, is a rather experimental feature as it's the first time I attempt such thing, so you might face some issues with it.

Known issues

1. The minimap is visible on the water from 3D skyboxes
The minimap might be visible on water surfaces present in the 3D skybox of a map, as seen here[i.imgur.com].

2. When I pause the game, pieces of the map disappear.
Fortunately this one is the least disruptive. When pausing the game, you might observe that pieces of it go missing, and then reappear once you unpause the game.

3. Vehicle lights might not work.
Vehicles that use the lighting system Photon might not be able to render theirs lights at all.

Solution available
Unfortunately, if I knew how to fix these issues, I would've done it by now, but I didn't want this to prevent me from releasing the addon. So, in case you don't want to put it with this, there's a simple solution.

  1. Open the build menu (F1 or Q by default).
  2. Go to Utilities.
  3. Under GTA 3D Universe HUD press Settings.
  4. Uncheck the Allow minimap check box.

This will prevent the minimap from rendering under any circumstance.

Thank you for your understanding.
