    I have been happily playing with Scenario Editor for a week or so and am slowly getting to grips with everything. However I must have just done something wrong as I was editing one formation file and ended up being unable to view the contents. Then when I tried to open up (double click) another file the same thing happened. (The file opened to a blank screen). I have now noticed that the same thing happens with my all my Scenario Definition files too.

    Exiting the Editor and going back again in doesn't help. Timetable files open up OK and, I think the data in all of my Scenario Definition and Formation files must be there but I just can't see it anymore. Any tips?

    Thanks, David.

    I'm guessing my issue is simply a viewing problem. But now that I can't view one file it appears that I can't view any of the others. Thus making the Editor unusable at the moment for me. It's got to just be a tick box somewhere hasn't it?

    Aha. I have just worked out what it was. (Repeated below in case anyone else does the same thing).

    The 'problem' was caused by me closing the 'Details' screen by accident when exiting a Formation file. That then meant that all files I then subsequently opened also came up without the Details window meaning that I couldn't see what was inside them. Simply clicking on the Window tab in the Formation asset and ticking "Details" brought the information back from every file.

    I presume this is how Unreal works. Change a view on one thing and it alters the view for everything else similar?
