TERRAIN /AREA PRE-VIEWER FOR THE MISSION EDITOR

[RWC]

Hi DCS Team,

I would like to propose the idea of a terrain/area preview feature for the Mission Editor (ME) when creating missions. 

Given the significant variations between terrains, it can be challenging to determine if it's feasible to place objects or navigate through specific areas. A small 3D preview window would be extremely helpful. Even for placing ships, it is important to consider routes that allow passage through rivers where dams might be present or where their route could be blocked.

In such cases, a 3D previewer would be handy while creating/ editing missions in the ME, to scout the area first, before placing objects.

This may be accessible through a right-click of the mouse or an option window that appears when clicking on an area of interest.

 

Kind regards,

RWC.
