Mission editor should be able to pre-place the new 1.5.5 map markers

[Why485]

The new map markers added in 1.5.5 are huge. This is the kind of feature that would make everybody's lives easier as it allows for much more accurate knowledge about a flight plan and target area that aren't conveyed well through a text box or tiny compressed static jpeg in a tiny mission briefing window. For public MP missions especally, these could be huge in facilitating teamwork with random pubbies as people will have intuitive ideas of where to go and what to do.

 

However, there is a tremendous oversight with this new feature. You cannot place pre-place these in the mission editor. This seems like such a no brainer that I'm hoping that this feature is just not finished yet, but I really want to make it clear that this would be fantastically useful to mission designers and players everywhere.
