already implemented TSD CTRLM COORD: units automatically populate on the ctrlm page(SOLUTION)

[Tom P]

The Request: An option to not have units auto populate on the COORD page.  

Possible Solutions: Use the hidden from planner option, or disabling their EPLRS(Set the unit's position datalink on/off.)

The issue: When making a mission or flying a mission/campaigns/multiplayer. The units throughout the map they automatically populate on the ctrlm coord page. And it can fill up all 9 pages quickly. The second issue, if you need to make a route or add units that use control measures (FARP with ammo/fuel, bridge, friendly grids, etc) You're going to have to delete the already populated ctrlm points 1 by 1. 

The only way I have found to make the units not populate on the CM/CTRLM  is with the "Hidden on map" option. But this also hides the unit on the F10 map so if you're using that as a blue force tracker for example now you can't see the units. 

I tried disabling their EPLRS, hidden from planner but nothing happens with that.

The checkbox you are looking for in the ME is "Hidden on MFD", and was added some time ago to serve this purpose.

As an example, two FARPs are placed in the ME with the one on the left using the "Hidden on MFD" option.  After spawning in, only the FARP on the right is added to the CTRLM database in the aircraft, and the one on the left does not.  This works for friendly and enemy units, and other CMs.

Completely skipped over the Hidden on MFD option. This is great, i'll forward that over to some campaign makers as well. Jazz Hands
