I've tried using a stopwatch along with the editor, but I've had dissapointing and frustrating results. Sometimes the ME tells me that a segment is going to run 30 seconds, but when I actually run the mission, the segment only runs 24 seconds. Maybe time in the game is not paced the same as my stopwatch. Or maybe I misunderstand what the ME telling me about my segments. In any case, I think it might be helpful to see the mission time in the editor.
