Cut & Paste: I never knew!

[wilbur81]

Here's an opportunity to laugh at my expense: I've been with DCS since 2003's LOMAC and I NEVER realized, until today, that you can cntrl+C and V to cut and paste units in the mission editor. :doh:

 

This is a game-changer for use of the ME, at least for me.

You can not only copy units inside a mission, you can copy units from one mission to another mission that way.

Oh yes indeed discovered it by accident some time ago it’s a great feature, enjoy

This feature wasn't in LOMAC though IIRC... and not even in the first versions of DCS World.

 

 

Now we just need a history and undo/redo buttons (Ctrl+Z and Y).

Very cool. I'm surprised this isn't more well documented/a visible option within the M.E.

Seriously good to know, thanks!

It should be. Under Edit there should be a cut/copy - paste menu option. And also a history log with undo/redo should be done as well. It really surprises me that basic editing functions are not there yet in a complex mission editor.
