Directional icons for the F10 Map and Mission Editor. Aircraft are replaced with appropriate icons for Fighters/Bombers/Tankers/AWACS/Helicopters etc as seen in screenshots, ground forces are standard NATO symbols but are now also directional!
**UPDATED TO INCLUDE TWO SMALLER SIZES. "REGULAR" Is recommended but by popular request two smaller sizes have been added - with a 10px difference between them. Special thanks to Minsky for the corrected OvGME archives now included. **

I did this for those that aren't too bothered by having proper NATO symbols etc, and I personally found it an improvement so decided to upload, just in-case anyone else had the same idea!
Makes mission editing way more visually appealing and easier to understand situations at a glance. Also fantastic for understanding the direction of friendly or enemy forces in missions/multiplayer. (The alternative was to watch for a few seconds to see which way they were going, or use the difficult to read Russian symbols).
Passed Integrity Check and tested on many servers/missions before uploaded.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Literally 20 seconds of your time)
- Navigate to: \DCSWorld\MissionEditor\data\NewMap\images\russian
- Back-up original files
- Drag replacement files into folder and sel ect the "Replace" prompt by Windows
- Start DCS
- Navigate to: Settings > Gameplay > "Editor Icon Style" > Sel ect "Russian"
- Check you've done it correctly by starting a mission/going to mission editor
Enjoy!
Idea came fr om the "F10 Map NATO Directional Icons" mod by "Moonglowbf2". Credit to them for the original work, still a great mod if you don't want the aircraft symbols.
