To Dynamo,
You bring up a good point and I should have mentioned this. JTACs overseas, especially when in TIC (troops in contact) are pushed aircraft and so the pilot comes in with no SA (situational awarness).
Like the sim JTAC will offer cardinal directions but can also offer an estimate grid. Thus with an MGRS (military grid reference system) grid we should be able to pop that grid into the pod and have it slew to the grid.
This is becoming a great thread. For greater info on jtacs anyone can download on google (JOINT PUBLICATION 3-09.3) and use this manual with J-FIRES.
