ED Team USSR_Rik Posted June 8, 2018 ED Team Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Hi, gentlemen. Let me introduce small feature in ME. Open file (using Notepad++ for example) %DCS World%\MissionEditor\MissionEditor.lua and uncomment line: test_topdown_view_models = true Now you will see 2D top view of all units on Mission Editor map. There are several bugs but feature already works and we hope will be useful when you create missions with tight units arrangement. In the next one-two updates we'll improve it (special on/off button in ME, bug fix etc). PS Sorry, forgot to add - it works since version 2.5.2.18307 (Open Beta) Edited June 8, 2018 by USSR_Rik Spelling Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down. Можно держаться на одном уровне добра, но никому и никогда не удавалось удержаться на одном уровне зла. Эта дорога ведёт вниз и вниз. G.K.

Kayos Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 What do you mean find? Didn't realize he was ED. I've been looking for how to enable that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kayos Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 If I uncomment it DCS won't load. It starts, I get the splash page then it just stays on a black screen. I have to run a repair to get it loading again. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team USSR_Rik Posted June 8, 2018 Author ED Team Posted June 8, 2018 Use correct editor for LUA scripts. We recommend to use Notepad++ (symbols coding UTF-8 without BOM) Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.
