Mi-8 navigation systems

[Galaxy_Gryphon]

Hi, im trying to do the Mi-8 campaigns and the first mission is just flying waypoints,

 

my question is, after starting up the helicopter, the ADF doesn't seem to respond to them, i an a bit new to navigation systems, but i would like to learn how to fly the helicopter without "cheating" and using the F10 map

 

how do i get the ADF to respond to the mission waypoints?

I did some tutorials ages ago, they are probably lost in the ether,,, heres a link, hope they help

hi, im not exactly sure what im doing, as this is the first time ive ever done navigation before

 

where do i get the frequency that i am supposed to input? i tried the frequencies in the briefing for the first mission but i never saw the ADF move.

You can't "tune" the ADF to the waypoints set in the editor. The frequencies in the briefings are for radio comms, not navigation. The ADF can only point you at NDBs (non directional beacons), which are mostly placed near airfields. At any rate, there are none in South Ossetia and you won't be using them in the campaign much.

 

You have a doppler navigation system, where you can input a course and it'll tell you how far you've traveled along it and what your deviation from it is. It can be very useful, but you'll have to remember (or note down) all the distances and courses between waypoints yourself and input them when needed.

 

Other than that, you'll have to learn to follow the terrain (rivers, valleys, roads, towns...).
