I watched the video by Crabby on how to set up a staged mission. My problem is that the views don't seem to work correctly. In the video he is zooming in on the first airfield, first runway, to set waypoints. I can't zoom anything. Without being able to zoom in I am stuck with the 10,000' (or so) view of the entire field. I can guess that I am setting waypoints correctly but don't know that. Am I missing something? Is there a complete list of commands somewhere?
Thanks!

Ok, the Ctrl right click doesn't work. Neither does the shift right click.Tried both about 30 - 40 times. However, I am working on waypoints - segments. Perhaps they don't work on the waypoints page. Also, the waypoints - segments don't seem to like it when I change my mind on the length of the waypoint/segment. It changed it ok for the segment but kept the waypoint at the old length. So I had a segment at 30 miles but the waypoint was still back at 15. I ended up having to delete the waypoint and start over again.

Anybody have a really simple staged mission they want to share with me? Prefer one with F4Us as an option on the Allied side. If not that then P-47s.
Thanks!

You have to hold down the key; not just tap it once.

Oh, and if you go into the "Staged Missions" selection screen, you can immediately download a copy of the *.mis file...

Then once you have that done you can open them in the editor.
