Just wanted to share. Zeus is currently working on the Harrier
The CAS Brief editing is enabled, its its still WiP and being worked on
ATHS/CAS Update:
1. Now it is possible to create, edit and delete CAS briefings using the MPCD/UFC/ODU.
2. For creating, editing:
2.1 Clicking on the CAS button when the CAS brief is in the display toggles editing mode on/off.
2.2 A '*' will be shown indicating the field to be edited.
2.3 Field 14 (TOT) is the default field.
2.4 To change fields, you must click on the Up Arrow/Down Arrow buttons. The '*' will move up or down.
2.5 The UFC/OUD will change modes based on the current field to be edited.
2.6 Some fields cannot be changed in the UFC. For these field two buttons: UP/DOWN will appear in the MPCD. Clicking on these buttons will change the available options. The UFC will display the selected option.
2.7 To set a target position there are two ways:
2.7.1 By inserting a Lat/Lon coordinate (Field 6)
2.7.2 By Polar coordinates (bearing and distance):
2.7.3 Polar coordinates requirements:
2.7.3.1 An Initial Point or IP (Field 1). It can be any flight plan waypoint. This will be the starting point for the attack run.
2.7.3.2 Bearing from IP (Field 2). Any value between 0 to 359.9
2.7.3.3 Distance from IP in nautical miles (Field 3). Any value greater than 0. Values greater than 100 will be assumed to be in meters and will be converted into nautical miles.
2.8 To complete the target position, its elevation must be entered (Field 4). Value is in feet (-2000 to 25000)
2.9 NOTE: Modifying the target position in an ACTIVE CAS record does not update the associated targetpoint(s). The ACTIVE record will be set as NOT ACTIVE. To use the new position the targetpoint(s) must be reselected.
2.10 Field 5 indicates type of target. Type is fixed and can be selected by pressing UP/DOWN buttons when the field is being edited.
2.11 Field 7 indicates how the target will be marked. If it is being maked by a laser, the laser code must be included.
2.12 Field 8 and Field 9 have a DIRection component. This relates to specific points of the compass (i.e: North, North East, etc.)
2.13 Field 8 Indicates direction and distance to friendly forces (if any) in relation to the target position. Distance is in meters (max value is 10000 meters).
2.14 Field 9 Indicates egress route from the target. You can select up to 3 flight plan waypoints (CP1, CP2 and CP3) for determining an egress route. DIR indicates direction of egress for the escape route.
2.15 Field 13 is for mission remarks and observations. It is not enabled.
2.14 Field 14 is for selecting a Time-On-Target (TOT) value. Not enabled at this time.
2.15 To save the changes, you must click on the SAVE button. If you are creating a new record, an internal ID will be generated.
2.16 If the number of CAS records is greater than 18, the first record will be deleted to make space for the new one.
2.17 Clicking on the PCLR button will clear the display and set the page into edit mode for creating a new record.
3. To delete a record
3.1 Record deletion is only available in the RECALL page
3.2 Place the '*' cursor on the record to be deleted by using the Up Arrow/Down Arrow buttons.
3.4 On the ODU click the ERAS (erase) option (Option 2).
3.3 NOTE: Deleting an ACTIVE CAS record does not clear the associated targetpoint(s).
F10 Map updates:
1. The F10 Map will ignore any mark that does not have the label begin with TNN format, where N is any number between 0 to 9.
2. The F10 Map will save the name of the pilot who created the mark. It will be displayed in the CAS page as FAC. (WiP)
3. The F10 Map will process all marks but only the last 18 will be saved to the CAS page. For example, if there are 24 marks, only the last 18 will be saved. The first 6 will be discarded and marked as processed.
4. The F10 Map will not reload a processed record, even if it was never saved to the CAS page.
5. The F10 Map will not reload a deleted record.
