Facility 'Flags' and visible in Mb

mongoose

SOH-CM-2025
Do all Flags show up in Mb? I can't see many facilities with Flags="isMilitary"? In fact is 'Flags' even necessary? I see Flags="" also sometimes. The issues is that I have added facilities to the gsl in the same was/format as other entries but they are not showing up in the Mb. :banghead:

Only certain flags show in MB IIRC.
So any idea which? I already tried isMilitary as I said above, also isFactory, and even "" which some facilities have. I'll give a couple of examples

<Facility Type="anti_aircraft" Flags="isMilitary" OuterDistance="10000"> for TOW_flak88_ETOHA_4SL.xml
<Facility Type="anti_aircraft" Flags="isMilitary" OuterDistance="10000"> for TOW_flakHA_battery_105.xml
<Facility Type="anti_aircraft" Flags="isMilitary" OuterDistance="10000"> for TOW_flak88_ETOHA_8SL.xml

Lines in the gsl columns A,B,C for above respectively

TOW, flak88_ETOHA, 4SL
TOW, flakHA_battery, 102
TOW, flak88_ETOHA, 8SL

I'm qassuming these are the only relevant columns assuming the LAT/Long are in mao, which they are.
 
Daft question, but have you got the filters set to show all?
Not a daft question because I never pressed in 2nd from right tab on the Mb. Under the help.xml from mb help folder, I got the line "<DIV class=Normal-P><SPAN class=Normal-H>You can change what is shown on the map by using the Map Filter functionality, which is accessed by pressing the second-from-the-right button on the lower map toolbar" I got as the attached pic, however that setting did not show the flak facilities. Thinking at night :rolleyes: I also realized that a lot of items in my gsl, such as all the ETO_City_target_2_fs or varieties don;t show up either, whereas most or all radar do under tk_stellung_1 or varieties. I will have to investigate further.
