Rgr that, but UTM isn't the problem! Its when I get coords in MGRS! That did help me find the WP page though, thanks!

Ok, in the SMERCH Hunt mission they give me the coords in MGRS, a coord that starts with 38T MN 41145.... Q1:I can put in UTM, but how do I put this in for a new WP? Q2:I also realized that I'm not on the CDU screen where I can input WPs by default. Which page is this in the CDU? The one with the question mark I hit to enter a new WP.

Hey I want to map the F1 key to my mic switch up slot (makes AI comms easier). Can I just make a new profile, set it, load, then play? I just want to make sure it doesn't interfere with the stock A10 stuff.

Ok, have a look at this now. Before I didn't have an orbit and the Predator set up me type 2 with IR pointer. Now he refuses to give me any pointer at all with type 3. I even loaded with just laser guided munitions, but no joy. Can you have a look and see why I get no makr now? Seems like he would have LOS with an orbit overhead. Predator.miz

Thanks! My bad on the manual, should have looked first, but I thought it was about navigating menus.

Got a few more guys, bear with me. 1) Where is the mission editor users manual? I saw it referenced in another post, but can't seem to find it in downloads section of DCS site. 2) The JTAC is using IR beam to designate. I looked in the target area with a IR Maverick, but didn't see anything special. What am I looking for here? 3) How can I get the Predator to cycle his orbit, that is, start over at WP0 after reaching the end. Right now he RTBs. Is it "set WP to WP0" task at last WP?

Excellent, thanks Hornet. However, this wont set the radars to sweep beforehand will it? Its kind of an all or nothing sort of situation.

Ah, I thought that was just the time to start them on their way. I imagine there is a hold action and timer for the waypoint. Thanks for the headsup!

Yep, was trying to lay my SA-3 template from Russia (whom I set as neutral). Wouldn't set. I wanted the ambiance of being tracked by semi-hostile forces that wouldn't fire. Kind of an ominous feeling. Was actually hoping to activate them if I crossed the border or something. Suggestions?

Can you not place neutral units on the map either? My template won't place with the country as neutral.

Here is my miz file. Predator.miz

Ugh, roger going to need two templates then!

Having trouble with this. Set Predator as JTAC as shown. I call him on the radio and he says no further tasking available. This is a night mission. I have set him to orbit above the enemy and also set a square route over the target as well. Nothing seems to work, he just tells me to go home. I set it to assign the enemy group and vice versa, still no dice.

After I've already set up a map, how do I alter it to change a country to neutral?

No problem at all. I take PayPal and will ship to you. Warthog just arrived, so its ready to go! PM me your address and I'll send you your total with shipping.
