ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
At the top of the window is the SORTIE. Here you may enter a name/title for the
mission. When you open the mission briefing to play it, this text will appear in the Title
field.
Next is the RED coalition field and this will automatically list the factions assigned to the
red coalition.
Below that is the BLUE coalition field and this will automatically list the factions assigned
to the blue coalition.
Below the data fields is the PICTURE field, which consists of two boxes that allow you to
assign unique briefing images for Red and Blue sides. To add a red side briefing image,
click on the red + and to add a blue side briefing image, click the blue +. Upon doing
so, a file/folder browser will be displayed (much like the open and save dialogs), and
from here you may select an image file. From the TYPE drop down you can select the
image format: .jpg, .png, .gif, or .tga. The image should be 512x512 pixels and the
content can be of your choosing. For example, you may wish to include an image of the
flight route, target area, specific target, or a unit type. Note that when in the simulation
you can press the Print Screen button to capture an image that will be deposited in your
Screen Shots folder. From there you may use an image editor to crop it, resize it, and
annotate it. Once you select the image, a small version of it will be displayed in the box
