I like to make changes to the .CMC files in an external text editor (notepad++) in my case. However, even after saving, the changes I just made aren't reflected in the MAP file. I have to use CM Editor button > Insert file in order to "reimport" the modified .CMC file. Is this normal? For some reason I thought that as long as the .CMC file is selected on the Program Settings tab, any changes I make with a text editor will be reflected.

You can make changes to a .cmc, in the .cmc. Just save the changes.

If I create a new map / cmc package by renaming an existing one, the changes are not reflected in the CH editor even after saving the .cmc file.

I typically write my .cmc files in Notepad and save them to the:C:\Users\*your*\Documents\CH Control Manager\Maps folder as a .cmc file. Once I do that, it is available in Control Manager to be assigned. What game are you writing one for? Perhaps there's already one available.

Primarily for DCS. I am using some of your files as well. I just wanted to tweak them slightly and noticed that the changes weren't being propagated if I saved the cmc. To be sure the change are reflected, I "re add" it anytime I make a change.

You can also copy and paste the .cmc into Notepad, make the changes in Notepad, and save as... wink
