Mission editor as standalone app

[T-Pap]

Due to the large size of the DCS installation which is required to use the misison editor , it is very prohibiting to install and use the mission editor on simple laptops that are easy to carry and use on the fly or while on the road. This would also make sharing and collaborating with others so much easier and faster.

Creating the basic mechanics and formats of missions and campaigns by simply using the misison editor as a standalone app would be ideal so that we dont have to be constantly remain on our main gaming pc or on a powerful enough pc , just to run a scripting engine with limited graphical interface , which is all that is basically needed.

This would be so ideal for long journeys , flights or even sudden spontaneuos ideas to just whip out my simple laptop and fill the flight and journey times creativily. I can't imagine the ME with basic assets (map images and module basic models for placement) wiould be more than 10-20 GB as opposed to the massive 120 right now which would load so much stuff that is not even needed for the mission editing and creation process .

I'd love it as standalone, good idea.

Agreed. I think after support for undo and band-selecting multiple objects, being stand-alone is one of the most commonly suggested enhancements to ME. Just imagining to be able to simultaneously edit a mission that I'm debugging makes me salivate
