solved added ground unit images not visible, only symbols on ME for me

[wotrwokr]

this may be a flaming cliffs issue, but when i set up a new SAM site from scratch... when i zoom ALL THE WAY in to 10 foot scale, the symbol is all that is visible.  i've seen on tutorials when the person zooms in.... the actual top view of the piece of equipment is seen.
this is helpful in seeing directional issues and simpler spacing (with scale).

as i said, i'm using flaming cliffs 3 because i have decided to start out learning the basics with the F-15C (in preparation for the F-15E).
could this be the reason?.... of is there some setting i am missing?

thx,

Check in ME the tank silhouette on the bottom bar, see attached image

D-OH !!! 
thx for the heads-up.
that does the trick. 
as you can tell.... i am a super new noob.

been on MS trying to set-up various training missions to work with and get my skills up.
focused on the F-15C so i can be as ready to transition to the strike eagle debuts.

since you're an ME guy.... i've got another issue that has arisen,  on a caucasus mission... i set up an A-10 II to run a few valleys.  i get to a place when it just does a aerial circle around and around.  stable altitude.  been surprised that the A-10 was having issues with not enough power to climb over ridges anyway... so i switched it out with an AV-8B.  ran the mission and the harrier does the same circling thing in another caucasus valley... but in a different place.  in the A-10 instance, the plane is getting ready to ascend through ridge gap.  the AV-8B has just come over a ridge and is preparing to descend. 

just a glitch?
any ideas? 

thx again.

try to play with unit skill, set it to 'veteran', but don't expect too much, most of the time AI fails to proper follow/avoid ground level and crush on it - is limited, but ED is working to improve it
