Posted this on the wrong forum, with apologies. Repost:
I can't seem to dig up detailed info on how to use the mission editor's nodes and templates features.
1. Under the menu "nodes", you select the node on the map you want the template at. This actually is selected from the drop-down. Clicking on the map clears the dialog box.
2. Pick US or Russian template from the list (Blue large offensive, Red small defensive, etc)
3. then blue or red boxes appear on the map at your selected template. You can move these around to your liking
After I click the "Generate" button on the node dialog, nothing happens. Are the units in the template automatically placed at this point? Assuming I created a player aircraft before this step, one could just hit the "play mission" button and see all the units the template was supposed to generate? However I'm flying on an empty map.
Could someone please point me to a decent detailed tutorial? the one from Ka-50 is too old, and doesn't have enough detail on how to use this.
thank you.
