Creating missions with loaded map possible?

[marvel_master]

Hello,
1./
I am not sure, but is it possible to change the dcs editor to the loaded map to create missions? 
An example what i mean you can see inside this armed assault 3 editor tutorial:

2./ 
It is possible to trigger green smoke inside a mission. This green/red smoke is active for 5 minutes.
Is there a trick, so that this smoke does not disappear? I want the smoke for hours, not only 5 minutes. 

 

Regards

I'm not sure that I understand the question. When you launch Mission Editor, you choose which map to work on, or open an existing mission which tells Mission Editor which map to load. What is your question?

I want to know, if it possible, to use the editor inside the 3D world. If you start a mission, you see the "3D world".

Ah. This is one of the most heartfelt wishes of many of us mission creators. Alas, we should be so lucky. DCS MIssion Editor lamentably is 2D only, and generally hates you.

There is an independently created "Web Editor" (see here, no affiliation except being a happy user) that plans a 3D feature.

there was once a tool by @FSFIan that allowed for a 3d view while editing, but it only worked with dcs up to version 1.5
