Seems like a lovely tool to use when I'm away from my PC ... however, this catched my attention:

 

 

Can we really expect a South East Asia Map anytime soon? 

Looking forward to the Editor, the possible ability of copying missions from one map onto another whets my apetite  

[winghunter]

Thanks. I hope ED is already working on SEA.

Otherwise we will build it as a community at some point.

 

 

You can load a mission file directly from DCS User Files using the Load remote mission button. And for example you can go directly to Unit#85 by adding &unitId=85 to the url. Or you can go to specific lat lon coordinates. This is useful for embedding into iframes or for showing problems in your mission to other users

i.e. Go to unit 85

https://dcs-web-editor.github.io/dcs-web-viewer-deploy/?load=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.digitalcombatsimulator.com%2Fuserfiles%2F95f%2F90t4yjdxqwx485v38n4ge8er7bk7m0z9%2FF16_RNLAF_ISIS_Base_160129_NoMods.miz&zoom=17&unitId=85

Go to lat lon zoom:

https://dcs-web-editor.github.io/dcs-web-viewer-deploy/?load=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.digitalcombatsimulator.com%2Fuserfiles%2F95f%2F90t4yjdxqwx485v38n4ge8er7bk7m0z9%2FF16_RNLAF_ISIS_Base_160129_NoMods.miz&zoom=17&lat=36.951397233614&lon=37.464512889798#

Go to line 75 in mission.lua script

Can you maybe allow it integrate realtime uploading of people's export.lua file for realtime unit display on embedded websites or is that not an ability without an API service?  Is there a coordinate only export in the form of excel or parsed text?  Thanks for your work and time.

Lua not lus

[winghunter]

There is a "Download as mission.json" button which contains the waypoints in json format

An upload function is planned.
For now, it can load missions directly from DCS User Files, i.e.

https://dcs-web-editor.github.io/dcs-web-viewer-deploy/?load=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.digitalcombatsimulator.com%2Fuserfiles%2F95f%2F90t4yjdxqwx485v38n4ge8er7bk7m0z9%2FF16_RNLAF_ISIS_Base_160129_NoMods.miz&zoom=17&unitId=85

Use the "Load remote mission" button

Would it be possible to save drawing or planning made within the Web Viewer for future usage or modification ?

Would be quite usefull

You can SAVE or LOAD your paintings/ scribbles / texts as json files. They are saved as latitude/longitude coordinates, so they will appear exactly on the map where you put them.

TacView playback, open acmi files

The new timeline tool for mission rehearsal / preview also allows to play back TacView files in 2D in the browser. Its not meant as a TacView replacement, but rather as a helper tool for mission creators. Like watching a replay of your last playtest inside the mission editor, to adjust the mission etc. Or for debriefing a large mission with hundreds of units. Work in progress...
