BarTzi Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 When the coordinates of the plane are given to the player, the format should be Lat Long Decimal (DD:MM:mm), at the moment its Lat Long (as seen by pressing F10). 1
mvsgas Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 You need to go to the options and change it. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
BarTzi Posted December 4, 2016 Author Posted December 4, 2016 You need to go to the options and change it. What I mean is- the instructor tells you (its in the audio dialog) to enter the normal lat long coordinates ( you can get those by pressing F10), not the ones in the required format for the ins (F10 + alt Y ). I dont think changing the map to display lat lonng decimal will have any affect on the dialog itself
mvsgas Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 I am trying to understand here. I just did the training missions one, engine start, and the instructor mentions coordinates N413631 and later E0413631 for the INS alignment. Is he not saying that for you?

Azrayen Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Well spotted BarTzi :) The aircraft position is: N 41° 36' 26" E 041° 36' 26" (Lat Long) or N 41° 36.433' E 041° 36.516' (Lat Long Decimal) The instructor asks for entering N 41 36 26 and E 041 36 31 which is wrong. He should ask for entering N 41 36 43 and E 041 36 52 which would be corred (rounded values of Lat Long Decimal = what's the aircraft uses) ++ Az'

BarTzi Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 Also check the Mission briefing. You are correct, it also appears in the details page before the mission starts.
baltic_dragon Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Yes, I will change it all. Thanks once again. For more information, please visit my website.

ZHeN Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 throughout the campaign I'm relying on the coordinates mentioned in the briefing. Are they correct for all missions ? should I be relying on them in future ? I don't go to F10 or F2 for this [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Maulkin Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 F10 will show correct coordinates if you have DCS configured to display lat/long in decimal. By default I do not think this is the case.

Are they correct for all missions ? should I be relying on them in future ? I don't go to F10 or F2 for this You should use Lat/Long Decimal, and not the normal ones which are provided now. The difference is not high enough for you to feel the difference (at least as far as waypoints are concerned) but I am currently working on new version of kneeboard files for all missions (+ briefing pictures with starting positions).
