Can't get MGRS coordinates to match location in Syria map. Is it not available for Syria yet, or is it a known bug? Couldn't find any info on it.

Hi guys, a couple days ago, we flew a MP mission, where a flight of 4 Hornets was doing an attack with GBU-38 in Pre-planned mode. Each of us had 2 targets, plus backed up 2 of another flight member. We carried 4 GBU-38 each. During startup, we carefully entered the coordinates. We used PP1 for our own tgt, and PP2 for the backup. Long story short, there was a lot of oposition and we could not commit directly to the target site. I went refueling at a nearby field and, after refueling took off again and headed for the target, just to discover all my PP coordinates were empty!! (Worth noting that in my previous attack attempt I had target symbology and everything was OK). I thought there was maybe a byproduct of landing and refueling/rearming, but later on checked and other flight members had also lost their PP coordinates, without landing. I don‘t want to file a bug because I do not have a valid short track (over 1.5h of MP flight), and I was not sure if this is already reported. I could not find it using the search function, though. So my question is: is this a known behavior/bug? Is there anything I am overlooking? Thanks!!!

This problem is related to a 3rd party script (https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad) however I wanted to check in to see if this is a known issue or only impacting me. Basically I pull up the scratchpad, enter my coordinates and normally hit 'Enter' to then drop down to the next line, however it's not registering at time of button press. Instead I have to click on the actual scratchpad input box for it to register the line break. (to clarify I hit enter first, then click on the input box) I also added a comment on github, but figured I'd also add here as there are more eyes. Thanks,- 2 replies

Hello, it seems that there is a bug when setting up user waypoints via the map cursor while the map is in track-up -mode. In said mode the waypoint seems to get the correct coordinates as was shown in the cursor info-box, but then when I set the navigation to said point, the waypoint is far away from where I originally put it, even though when I check the coordinates from the user waypoint list all seems to be correct there. If you use the north-up -mode everything works just as intended. So it seems, that even though the NS itself show the proper coordinates, the actual position is copied from the screen as if it was north-up. Very confusing indeed! I found this flying in Caucasus. Haven't tested on other maps. Testing is simple: set the map to track-up, fly somewhere other than north and try to set up a user waypoint via the map (notice the coordinates!), set the direct-to function to the waypoint you just created and observe the result.

The Tomcat has a yet uncatered for coordinate format. Taking a coordinate from the F-10 map leaves you calculating what a six digit lat/long would be for a 5 digit Tomcat format. I know they are close. But still the last digit is not accurate just by removing it and ignoring it. What the Tomcat F-14 needs: N37"57'8 W115"23'9 What is displayed currently as closest approximation: N37"57'48 W115"23'52 These two coordinates represent the same point as far as the editor and the sim goes. Can we please have an L_ALT + Y option for the Tomcat format please?

Hello! This idea came to me while watchings Wags last F16 video on YT. It would be nice if we had an "show coord" option on the F10 map - Right click on the map where you need the coords, a contextmenu pops up with the option "show coordinates", when you now leave the F10 map back into the cockpit you can see a small window in the upper left corner of the monitor (the place where the coords are on the F10 map) with the selected coords. Now you can enter them into you aircraft without writing them down or something. In the main options could be an option how long in seconds you want to see this window after you closed the F10 map.

Morning all, This is something that I've encountered as an issue differently in different modules, but I fly exclusively in VR and inputting map coordinates from the F-10 map into any of the aircraft is a pain in VR. There is no way, really, for a player to write it down and input it without much faffing around. I was wondering whether it would be possible to create a way to copy and paste coordinates from the F-10 map into the kneeboard so that they could be referred to easily while inputting them? It would be something available for everyone, whether they use VR or not (save the trees!), and it would mean they could be referred back to or read back to others with ease. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch of the imagination, but I wonder whether this would be achievable? Thanks, Tom
