Place units while in map.

Has there ever been any thought into being able to open the map itself in the mission editor and navigate around it in full 3d? Basically your flying in the mission editor so you can more accurately lay out flight plans through mountains and place units around the environment easier. This would be an awesome feature to have as we could place static objects and things like that in more uneven terrain without having issues with pathing or weapons deployment.

I would think trigger's, zone's, and scripting would have to be done inside the mission editor as normal but it would be great to lay things out in a 3d environment.

Yes, people have been calling for this for a while now.

The arma 3 editor is a good example on how it could look. You can place things both in 2d (ie. map) and 3d. Some things are only shown on the map.

I Agree on the Arma 3 type design. Just something for ED to consider and I know they got the hands full on other module's so I doubt this will ever happen. It would certainly go a long way in being able to churn out mission's much more detailed.

This has been on our wish list for quite a while now and ED has acknowledged it as such, a wish. I doubt very seriously that it is very high up on their to do list but at least they are aware of it as a request.
