As far as I know, labels like this are created as a Flash overlay to the map. For more details, see the document attached to DRAFT Extract From FME Manual - Create a Sequence of Singleplayer Missions (Scripted Campaign). The Flash overlay is discussed in the second bullet on pg. 41. I don't have Flash so I have not been able to test the procedure that I got from the Dev Diary mentioned in the linked post.

Thanks Jim - That looks like a lot of work for a single mission

You're welcome X-Man. I think the Flash step in the procedure may work for SP missions and you would not need to follow any other steps for the campaign.

BlackSix seems to have that figured out. You might PM him if you are interested in working with those.

Please don't write to me. I work with a program Adobe Flash with our internal files, which I cannot distribute. I can't tell you how to create them yourself from scratch, I don't know the parameters.

Good to know. Flash Player support has been discontinued by Adobe anyway, so this software will not be available moving forward.

It's cool! I have determined it's too much work for a single mission anyway.

I gave up on that as I don't know enough to even know where to learn.
