To place a minefield:

Open the Mission Editor and click on the 'Ordnance' tab. Choose a Country and click on 'MN Minefield'.

Drag the Minefield and place it on the map. The icon will look like double triangles. This is NOT where your minefield will be located. You must first place at least one waypoint. Do that now and drag it about 2000 meters from the Minefield icon.

Left-click on the WP and then right-click to bring up the Properties. Place a 1 (one) in the 'Radius(KM)' box. This will be your minefield. *The minefield will be located INSIDE the circle. Click on Accept.

Now, click on the Minefield icon and bring up the Properties. Enter a number in the Density(UNITS/SQ.KM) box. Try 100, for now. THis will give you 100 mines per square km.

You will have to experiment with the 'Min height(M)' and 'Max height(M)' boxes. The default values will place the mines just under the waterline. Click on Accept.

Now, click on the Minefield icon and then press 'm' on your keyboard and you should see your minefield. You can place more WP's and string them out, if you want.

To check out your mines, open the mission and dive to periscope depth. Raise your periscope just a little bit, so it is beneath the surface. Or, go to external view and direct the camera beneath the surface. Enjoy!
