Scen Editor - Course & Speed - 10/31/2015 8:20:18 AM

Is there a way in the scen editor to add a unit with an initial course and speed.
At the moment every scenario seems to start with all units facing North at 0kts.

I understand I could add a plotted course and run the scenario for a few seconds before saving but I see this more as a work around and with a lot of units and various events that can get a bit messy.

The method you mentioned (running the scen a bit before saving) works but if you want to you can add your units via Lua and specify parameters like heading speed and altitude as required. You don't have to use the event editor for this, just come up with the appropriate script and run it in the Lua console. Hope this helps!

OK thanks, that does help. Not tried via Lua although I suspect it could turn out to be quite time consuming with many units.

Was kinda hoping that I'd missed something and there was some way to set it via the Plot Course and Throttle options that would set the initial orientation and speed when the unit was added.

Currently have 2 scenarios that I'm working on ..... mostly as an exercise in learning the Editor.
