What the heck is this? After selecting a plane, the briefing screen and the minimap both show a big blue X.
Never seen it before. Is it a FMB object or something buried on the map?

I'm fairly sure that is a static camera position.   When I place "allied" (red) cameras in our HSFX missions there is always a red x on the map so I'm assuming that is a 'blue' camera.

Hope this helps.

Yes I confirm this...static camera....

Interesting. I never saw it in BAT. At least not in JTW, which I used in the past few months.

Dimlee;  again I'm not 100% sure but I think it may only be visible if you have either the NG-Map or NG-Cam mod activated.

I've been curious about seeing red X's on maps for some time, I was going to raise the topic at M4T.
I guess I never see them while testing my own missions is because I have Static Camera = None, is that correct?

[Wing Walker]

I've only seen the cameras as a red X

[tomoose]

genXgamer;  I think that's correct but I'm second-guessing myself and will have to test.  I've been using HSFX almost exclusively lately online so BAT may be different.

[Flatlander]

Consensus seems to be a static camera location. Very cool.
Thanks for the help!

Cheers.

Wingwalker;

you may only see a red x (camera) if you are flying on the red side.

[David Prosser]

Me neither, and I put static cameras in every mission. Neutral ones though.

[genXgamer]

Actually tried it this morning, started working on my next mission.
I'll be marking ground targets on the map with crosses from now on, I like how it looks.
