Unit Viewer not opening with F3

I noticed that pressing F3 while in scenario, it doesn't open CS Unit Viewer as it does in CSME. This happens both when you have a unit selected or you don't have any units selected.

It works though when manually opening CS_unitViewer.exe and putting the right path into settings.txt, just not with the shortcut.

The unit viewer is no longer supported, until the creator (Arkady) updates it.

Hence it is not in the F3 position with CS Vietnam.

In the manual it says to work with F3, that's why I thought it would still be in use. But yeah, it feels a bit legacy and gives errors when opening USA database for example. Probably not much need to use it as the Unit Handbook gives all the needed info.

Oh crap, I need to fix that, thank you for pointing it out! I thought I had revised that.

The Unit Viewer is great for comparing unit stats. Otherwise, yes, the built-in Unit Handbook suffices.

Unfortunately, we had to leave out the Unit Viewer due to its current brokenness.
