Amazing... Thanks.

+1 rep for the help

LOL... That would explain that I had to fish around a bit with the TGP to find the target exactly.:doh: --Okay... I'm officially retarded. as per Snoopy's (Paulkrii's) PDF "CDU does not use seconds so you need to divide...by sixty" first four digits DD/MM I know I don't touch. My assumption was that any following (/sss) figure would necessarily need a division by sixty. --Apparently, this is where I'm wrong. :huh: What may clear this up for me is: what characteristic (limit?) of the provided /ss coordinates would distinguish it as a figure that does not need the division by sixty? Many thanks for your patience. Perhaps you would understand why my Math teachers gave up on me. Cheers Moosh. PS For example this is another set of coords from Smerch Hunt. Is there any indication from the last figures that would tell me whether to do the division? THANKS~!!!:)

Remind me never to buy one of those stars. LOL~! Okay, here is a screenie from Smerch Hunt. N43 12.282 E043 55.080 I don't trust my math so I refer to a calculator: (282 / 60 = 4.7) (80 / 60 = 1.33333333) These coords ought to give me N431247 & E0435513 Yes? THX ----*edit*---- YES! SUCCESS!!!! FINALLY---after months... THANKS for the help Cheers! P.S. For those new to this who are intimidated by the details... If I can do this...anyone with a pulse can.

One Note for those trying to get their heads around this: Paulkrii's excellent little PDF "Creating a Flight Plan" offers the following example on page 5 Lat. Coordinates 42 40' 20.5" His division indicates 20.5/60 = 0.3146 which is then to be rounded up to 342 So he tells the reader to enter "4240342" --I believe there's a typo that may throw some readers off. Perhaps the result of the seconds division --0.3146 needs to be changed to the following result:0.3416. (In addition, simply entering the figure didn't work for me. Rather, "N4240342" seems to work.) Again, I really appreciate the hand-holding in this process. Cheers, Moosh

Really really helpful. I'm so close I can taste it.... I'll get into that Smerch Hunt mission and verify the coordinates given. Thanks again

I'm this close to getting entering L/L coords into the CDU. After weeks of putting it off... I promised myself I'd tackle it finally. I get the call from Matt (in Smerch Hunt) to attack a contact at N43 12 282 & E043 55.080 I alt+TAB out. I look up on Google for the 282 figure divided by 60--because I had a slew of extremely hot math teachers in middle school and ...it was just too much for me. I didn't have a prayer of learning anything.) :cry: 28.2 / 60 = 0.47 gives me three digits--that I don't have to round up and I'm fine so I enter: "N4312470" for Lat. and 8 / 60 = 0.133333333 leads me to "E04355133" for Long. Am I way off or am I on the right track? Many thanks. P.S. I'm following Snoopy's "creating a new flight plan" pdf (which is extremely useful and enlightening--but has a mysterious result on page 5 of dividing 20.5 by 60 =3.146 which he rounds up to 342 ??:huh:??-- But I'd defer to anyone's calculations over mine. Anyway... I would really appreciate any help or verification as to whether I'm on the right track. Many thanks. P.P.S. Is there a quick rule of thumb of dividing 3 digit numbers by sixty? Cheers, Moosh

Looks great! D/Ling now. Thanks!

If it's any consolation... I suck at refueling. I am more crap at refueling than any purchaser of this sim. --HAWX 2 pilots laugh at me...:(

Ah... Thanks very much... Can't believe I've been flying so long and haven't known all this. THX again. --Kaiza, What's your source about .0.9 being broken? Got a link? ~Cheers, Moos

Units with an SADL link... ought to have the ability to send to MSG page right? --as per P346 in the manual. I wonder whether I'm not paying close enough attention... Is anyone able to find this indication? --Of course I AM getting the red triangle on my TAD...I wonder whether the details are available other than via radio. THX Moosh

Links are working in my sig now. Cheers for flying the mission.

Very helpful. Thanks Fish! As a newb... I suppose what the next step for me to explore is what distinct and particular situation would necessitate the pilot switching from TO-FROM to TO-TO (other than enabling the pilot to "create" a course to the NAV point.) I suppose I have to watch a bit and refer back to the manual in order to absorb it further. Really interesting video. Many thanks, Moosh

As per request. Here is an updated file to the mission available here. http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/59621/ As the link to download seems not to be working. Thanks BULLRUN2.miz

Bizarre... I'll try to get in touch with someone about this. ~Moosh

Hey All, I'll fix it. Cheers, Moosh P.S. Made this mission a month ago, I still can't finish it. LOL

All of my life I've always wondered why those narrators for airshows sound like such dorks with that stylized delivery. It sounds incredibly cheesy...and imo just detracts from the majesty of the aircraft themselves. Anyway... just my 2cents.

:megalol:Hilarious.This is fast becoming one of my favorite threads

Uh... Todd? Could you post a 1600X1200 detail of the ladder door? for my desktop? --maybe just a pic of the model you used? I wanna plaster it on my HUD..(.something to occupy my on those long egresses from target.) :joystick: :music_whistling: Excellent skin, BTW

사란차님 ㅋ 제 사진 밑으로 클릭하면... "Operation: Bull by the Horns" 아님..."Operation: Bull Run" 그 mission들로 연습 하실수 있는데... 배우실려면... 큰 도움이 될지 도 모르겠어요. 화팅~!

--and like a ghost... *poof* :huh: :)

Who was that masked developer? "Posts Per Day: 0.18" :D Thanks for the info, though

Excellent info! Would it be possible to adjust size/position? ie a bit smaller and top right/left corners? Many thanks!!!

This is a damned good post and I'm glad I read it. +1 rep It was tough enough to read...my eyes kept dropping down to evontroy's cleavage.

:) -- Give us a pm if you are ever up in Seoul and want to get a beer--on me. Cheers~
