ALT map layer has no contours on the "Field" overlay


Recommended Posts

The overlays which are used to indicate farmland on the map (ALT in the ME or F10) are great, however they lack countour lines which makes working in those areas very difficult. The contours really help with working in the ME and planning things like LZs for helicopters. Here's an example of this being a problem:

Say I want to build a FOB for helicopters to refuel at and I find a nice little spot in this town. So I place all of the objects there:

Now I load into the sim and I find out I have to go find another spot because this one is no good:

For anyone else who has issues with this, you can disable the overlay for now:

1) Go to DCS World OpenBeta\Config\terrain
2) Open terrainoptions41.lua
3) Search for hiddensemantics
4) Remove the -- from in front of "Field"

It isnt perfect and I really would like to see the field overlay again, but it works.
