Desired Track mode not working?

[Boris]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the DT mode to work? As it is now, no matter if I have DH, DT or middle position switched, the chopper will always act as if using DH when route mode is engaged.

 

Bug?

Entering the waypoints manually is not enough to let the DT to work properly.

You should enter the sequence that the PVI-800 will use.

 

That enable both DT and Auto-route in DH.

 

Search in the BS2 manual, "Change waypoint sequence procedure"

I never entered any waypoints manually. The waypoints are from the mission editor. I've tested this with multiple missions including the navigation training mission that is supposed to teach the use of DT and DH modes.

 

Can you confirm that DT mode works for you? If so, could you post a track of it working?

I've noticed two things around this:

 

1. INS has to be aligned completely (i.e., if your speed hasn't showed up yet on the HUD, it won't work) and ...

2. Even when you have a speed readout -- I've never been able to get DT mode to work on the first waypoint, though it works on 2 through 6.

There is no track to the first waypoint--the airfield is an airfield point, not a waypoint, so the K-041 can't calculate a path between the airfield and the first point on the route. Same when going from the last waypoint to the airfield.

Ah, thanks, you're right! I was almost going insane over this...
