jasonstory44 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Hi guys, recently diving head first back into DCS. I was wondering if anyone could help me with one thing. Or point me in the right direction. I notice all the waypoints in most of the tutorial videos and missionds are ground level. What I find though when I do the missions, or Maple Flag missions, all my waypoints or steer points are in the air. I then find it difficult to use the TGP to find the ground beneath the waypoint/steer point. When I make the waypoint SPI and slave my sensors to it I end up with a view of the sky. I try and slew down to the ground but it's cumbersome. Is there something I'm missing? Could anyone give me any pointers or point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Blooze Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Try looking at pages 457 and 458 of the flight manual and you will see how to change the elevation of the waypoint in the CDU. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
PiedDroit Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Did you try creating your waypoints with minimum altitude ? The default alt is 2000m for a newly created waypoint, then you can change the value, it will default itself to ground level if your input is lower than ground level. This way you won't have to edit your flight plan fromthe cockpit.

Dahlbeck Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 then you can change the value, it will default itself to ground level if your input is lower than ground level. I've had problems with this in the editor vs in the sim. Even though the waypoint altitude is set to 0 AGL in editor, the waypoint in mission ends up in the air.
Vantskruv Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I have some problems with this too, though while waiting for NAV to align, I create mission points with elevation of 0, with reference from the mission data (where it tells your the coordinates). I tried with markers, but first time it didn't work, but probably I did something wrong. I will try it more later on. :) Anyway it is hell of of a fun, the Maple missions are so great, really recommend to buy all the missions, it is all worth it.
