MarkP Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hey fellow Kampfpiloten, ive read the whole Manual but my question wasnt solved so i have to ask the community. How do i navigate from the Ramp to the objective? If i start a misson, im unable to find the objective. Also i dont know how to find the desired airfield after the objective where i have to land. Hope you get me :) Greetings from the sunny Germany, Cheers, Mark Main-Module: F-16C, AH-64D Maps: Syria, Persian Gulf, South Atlantic, Caucasus, 1944 Normandy, NTTR Hardware: VKB Gunfighter mk.2 Pro, WinWing Orion F16, VKB T-Rudder, HP Reverb G2 PC Specs: Intel 13900K, ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E, 64GB DDR5-5800 RAM, GeForce RTX 4090, Win 11x64
Nevyn Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 You have to learn how to use a ruler and a pen, write down your waypoints direction and distance, then dial your magentic compass to the bearing and fly towards it. Also the WW2 birds have a awesome GPS system, we in the old school call it the ENS, the Eyeballs Navigaton System. If your radio is tuned to the airfield you can just ask them for bearing and distance, but if not, you need to know the area you flying in, landmarks and suchlike. Greetings from darkest Africa.

In the absence of visual references, the words "dead reckoning" where the ones to know in a time where gyroscopes wheren't yet accurate enough and satellite navigation where SciFi.
