Working on a classic CW North Cape scenario, all good so far. A few questions:

1. Really like the easy way to add facilities but can't seem to delete them. I added all the Norgi ESM, Radar etc an that is fantastic - I remember in Harpoon it was mostly a guess and could not get good data on stuff. However I want to limit the scenario to North Norway so how do I delete all the stuff in South Norway so the player is not overwhelmed?

2. I noted in a couple of the stock scenarios AC started the game already on patrol - super, I have added the AC and put them in a mission etc but how do you rename them - either the Call sign or the Group?

3. While were at it how do you rename Ref points?

4. In the Magazine editor when the number is 4/4 for things like drop tanks - is that counted like munitions which I think I have figured out? Or do they come back with the AC?

5. When adding munitions to magazines I assume that it's important to spread them around for protection but does it affect the time it takes to re-arm an AC if the munitions are in underground verses surface bunkers? Or are there other factors to worry about?

6. The Norgi F-16m has a Load out - GBU-12D/B LGB[Mk8x] - requires Buddy illumination - Not sure exactly how that works, is there a pod or all F16Ms capable of illuminating for this and the player simply needs to make sure that a buddy is available?

I am sure that I'll have a few more questions soon. Thanks - the game is awesome, you guys have done a great job![&o][&o]

1) Hit Keypad 9 and delete the individual elements of the group by selecting each unit and hitting DEL
2) There's a standard floating around somewhere, but in the end it's up to the scenario editor.
3) I typically name mine for the Mission they represent along with a sequential number (Example - CV ASW 1, CV AS 2, etc) However if you can keep them straight in you head then you can skip naming them.
4) Munitions return with the a/c. You'll actually find 'extra' munition entries in your airfield magazines for things like drop tanks after a while.
5) No effect on re-arming that I can tell, just how tough they are to kill.
6) You need something with a laser designator nearby to guide the LBGs.

Thanks.
Ok
- got the keypad working
- figured out how to rename units now
- The question is how do you rename the Refpoints

thanks for the help

Naming RPs is not as simple as I'd like it to be. In particular it would be nice if there was a DESELECT ALL RPs hotkey. But in any case...

1) Make sure only ONE RP is selected. Hit R for RENAME and type in the name.
2) If more than 1 RP is selected you will instead rename the currently selected Unit/Group when you hit R.
3) Since RPs can be scattered around the PLANET and are selected/deselected by drawing selection boxes even if you don't want to, this can be a PITA sometimes!

OK thanks - that worked. Would also be nice if you could name an area and the RPs would have that name and a unique number. Working now, appreciate the help.

Added menu action just for this in Build 434.

Nice! Was waiting for that one too
