Sounds like the mod included a widescreen offset setting for the message log and you are trying to play the game in a 4:3 resolution. To fix it, you'll just need to open the chattext.dat file (located in the \\hud folder for the mod) in notepad and edit line six to read 0 instead of -7.5 or whatever value is it at.

Hi and welcome.

I don't think the cities have names and you can't click on them on the map to set a waypoint.

What I do is the following.
- Right click on the planet to zoom in.
- Left click in space above the city (It's a + or [+] on the map)
- Jump! (Now you should be in space roughly above the city. (They do rotate with the planet).
- Open map and left click on the city. (Now you set the X and Z coords for it)
- Change view to "Rear View" and left click on it again. (Now you set the Y-coords for it)
- Fly down (Don't jump, it will kill you) following your waypoint marker.

Hope this helps a bit.;)
