Looking for guides or tutorials for using the Mission Editor

[maverick90]

Does anyone know of any good places to find in depth tutorials on how to use the latest mission editor?

Also are older mission editor files compatible with the latest version of DCS?

most tutorials on this subject are oriented towards new dcs users, and so are not really "in-depth" … the most in-depth ME tutorial that I’ve ever seen is this series, by @Ranger79:

 

 

I know that it is pretty old, but the concepts it teaches are still valid … the biggest change when you use the current Editor to follow the tutorial examples, is that currently the flags can be named, and the trigger zones can be rectangular in addition to circular.

yes, but if you change the mission in anyway (even if just changing the map pov) and then save, the mission’s internal format will be updated to the current miz version.

Thanks for that! Have you guys heard of Olympus? I just found out about it and it looks amazing.
