Getting ASL Altitude of ground from map

[FlandersRevenge]

When we are in the mission editor is it possible to get the ASL of a specific point of ground.

 

I'm aware that its possible to reduce baro of each waypoint to 0, causing it to default to ASL=x = 0AGL however this is quite time consuming.

 

In BS, barometric altitude played a much less important role because most of the action was down low.

 

So, is there a command to find the ASL of a specific point just by clicking on it in order to reference flight paths, etc.

 

 

 

Oh and to ED... PLEASE for the love of god allow us a planning map that shows accurate topography preferably with altitude tics, the current one is abysmal if you have to set up stuff anywhere other then the Modok-Mineralnye Vody zone

If you move your mouse around the map in the ME, you'll see in the bottom left-side of the window will be your coordinates. Just to the right, you'll see the ground elevation, i.e. height of the ground above sea level(ASL).

:doh:Wow, that was too easy. I actually looked there because I assumed that's where the information would be located, must have missed it:doh:

I setup a mission the other day and ended up smacking into a mountain at startup could I couldn't really tell that it was a mountain range there. :)
