fixed internally DTC screen ignores mission's F10-map view options

[Blackfyre]

Subj.

When using DTC screen, every enemy and friendly ground and aerial unit is shown on the map, despite the "Map Only" option is selected. The same happens with other similar options: "A/C Only", "Allies Only". Statics are hidden as they should be. The same happens in multiplayer too.
Unit's options "Hidden on MFD" and "Hidden on Planner" don't affect visibility. One could argue that DTC screen is a sort of a planner rather than F10-map.
I can't post a track, since there is another bug, but it is very easy to reproduce. Mission attached.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Spawn in DTC-capable aircraft.
2) Open DTC.
3) Observe all units you are not supposed to in real time.

This is very critical for certain servers and massive events. Right now, we effectively can't play the way we were intended to because of this bug.

Can confirm this is an issue on patch 2.9.15.9599. I would agree that this is a very critical bug. Anyone can go on any mission, server and/or event and know where everything is.

For example, I am on Contention 80s server and if you press F10 (map) all units are hidden (this is how devs of the map set it up).

But if you press rShift+rCtrl+K to open DTC interface, the map opens and all the units which are on the map are visible, blue and red.

I suppose this is not OK, since the intention of the devs is that none of the units EXCEPT your self are hidden!

wow, I thought they would be able to program soon...
so many construction sites, but always new modules
