MGRS / L-L switch?

[Skitter]

Hi guys,

I started playing with CA and during my last game I had a couple of A-10s and a KA-50 on my stack.

I bumped into a problem. The KA-50 takes L-L coordinates, but A-10 preferred the MGRS.

I wonder if there is a way to switch between the two, while you look through binos ?

 

Sorry if I am duplicating another thread like this. I'll remove it if I do. Thanks

There is no problem in using LL coords in A-10. Works like a charm. Just two buttons pressed on TAD and TGP and you can use LL/MGRS according to your needs. I have no idea if you can change it in CA, but LL is not a problem when talking to A-10s

There most certainly is:

 

L-Alt+Y

 

Allows you to cycle between Lat/Long, MGRS, and the game's own coordinates system. Also works in the map screen and external views.

Ptako: It is more a matter of preference. The guys I play with prefer MGRS in A-10. Also, I entered the server with MGRS set as default, so there was no such option...

 

No Carrier: Thanks. Found it under "general" controls. Works great.

Keep in mind that Ka-50 uses arcseconds while the A-10 in LL uses hundredths. Its not that hard to convert those mentally, but it's nice to have the right coordinates right away

The PVI-800 is limited to DMS.

 

ABRIS can be set to MinDec, which is usefull for transmitting target coordinates to A10's using the MAP/INFO or MAP/ERBL function.

I think the best solution is to have at least the 2 coordinates, MGRS and Lat/Lon both always visible and the unit in both metrical and imperial.
