Hey guys, Sturm here.....listen, I'm going to start making some missions....is there a tutorial floating around somewhere that shows you how to place an aircraft exactly where you want it? I remember reading about this sometime ago...where you can pinpoint the coordinates then cut and paste into mission editor? Help!!!

Two ways that I know of...

First make sure that Alt-M is enabled and that you have "Show Coordinates on Map" enabled through SDOE Control. Then:

1. Hit "S" for slew mode and glide over to the exact spot and take a screenshot-- then you have the coords and can enter them in through the text editor for the planes you want.

OR

2. (This is the way I do it)-- Start a plane at the field you want to place them at....taxi to the spot you want to place and take a screenie....or I will fly low over some spot (Like an aircraft factory)-- take a screen and I can then place planes outside as if fresh from the factory.

Hope this wasn't too brief-- but you'll get the hang of it after doing it once or twice.
