REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) To vet a-10 drivers this may seem like a stupid question- but I am trying to work out how to set up wypoints on the fly. In the 3rd (?) mission, I am patrolling and given these coordinates to check out: 38T LN 1373 3835 Now, I am assuming these are UTM coordinates and followed this guide http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68946 Using this, the CDU accepts the information (Except I have no idea where to punch in 38t or what that means), so I punch in "LN13723835", and set the WP name as "TGT". The waypoin itself is created, but way the hell of the map:P Obviously I am missing something basic here- if anyone can point me in a direction to learn this step by step, please do:) EDIT: I think I have worked it out! THe 38T is the grid, which also has to be punched in in order for it to work:D Anyways- great campaign so far! The A-10 is quite a handful for us newbies, but it is fun figuring stuff like this out.

jester_ Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 38T goes into the slot above LN13723835, literally the button above it. Just type 38T hit the button (LSK 3 IIRC), and then type in LN13723835 and hit LSK 4 IIRC. The CDU is probably the most powerful tool the A-10 has. You can even build an entire flight plan with it from scratch in the cockpit. It's really cool.

I am glad you like it, it probably will require you to learn some more new stuff (including correct radio handling). If you have any further questions - check the campaign thread or shoot!

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 Yeah- I managed the mission, but I had some radio issues, so need to read up on that asap. Setting the basics are easy enough- but there is a bit of back and forthing between frequencies and stuff which is great and gives me something new to learn:)
