Enemy units hidden on F10 map

[Temp89]

To ease myself into Missions I opened the F-5E CAP mission in the editor and in the mission options enabled "Show All" for the F10 map. However enemy planes are still hidden on the F10 map. I can see their missiles on it when they're about 1nm out but that's it. Is there a limitation I'm unaware of?

Did you check to see that the "hidden" checkbox was unchecked for individual units. I haven't used this feature in a while and I don't remember exactly how it works.

The effective difficulty for the mission can be overridden by the user. If the "use these options for all missions" is enabled then the user settings will override the mission settings.

necro-post because this is the first thing that comes up in google search,

there are FOUR things that control what is visible on the f10 map, (3 and 4 are what you want when editing most pre made missions)

1: difficulty options (these can sometimes override the mission options or vise versa)

2: each unit group has a "hidden on map", "hidden on mfd", and "hidden" checkbox.

3: in the editor,  "CUSTOMIZE"  > "MAP OPTIONS", Show Units, Blue, Red, Neutrals, and also hide units with same options

4:"CUSTOMIZE"  > "MISSION OPTIONS" - there is an F10 Visibility options for allies, enemy's, fog of war, all etc...
