Weather/Time preview (Mission Editor)

[Texac]

I would like to see a little preview screen in the Mission Editor for the weather or time. With that option it is possible to preview weather and time without starting the mission to change it again and again to your requirements.

 

Just as the preview window for loadouts or liveries.

Anyone else here who might like to see this in DCS?

It would be very convenient, yes. I like the idea.

Well, it would avoid things like the time that I set a heavy cloud layer lower than the altitude of my starting airfield. Upon starting the mission, all I could see was a grey mass outside of the cockpit. :P

Yeah, cool idea, I am sure I would use it. Though you have to run back and forth between the ME and mission that tweaking weather can be done on the sidelines of that anyway :)

This way it should be much more practical so that it can be done in a few seconds without taking care of these things once a test flight is needed. It would be quite useful for quick mission designers/buildups.

It sure would be nice
