fjacobsen Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Great module, but I found these issues so far... XTKE indicator (NAV page 1) not consistant - sometimes it´s to the right where it should be to the left and vice versa in order to guide You in the right direction. Same goes for the digital readout on the NAV page 2 (MAP page with data fields on and XTKE as one of the fields. F.ex magenta line is to the left of my aircraft, where the XTKE indicator then should be displaced to the left, but is shown to the right etc.. Sometimes it´s Ok, other times not. Entry of flightplan does not scroll the fields up when the fourth waypoint has been entered. On the real GNS-430 as soon as the 4th waypoint has been added, the page is scrolled up so that the 5th waypoint can be entered beneath and so forth.. In the MI-8 - is it possible to couple the course indicator / HSI to the GPS ? Will the various navigation points be added (or an option to toggle them on/off) be added to the mission editor / F10 Map ? | i7-10700K 3.8-5.1Ghz | 64GB RAM | RTX 4070 12GB | 1x1TB M.2.

lmp Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 If you change the map display from north up to track up, moving the cursor towards the display border won't scroll the map correctly.
MrDieing Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Having trouble changing the fields on the NavMAP page. Anyone else? ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.'' Erich Fromm
gospadin Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 F.ex magenta line is to the left of my aircraft, where the XTKE indicator then should be displaced to the left, but is shown to the right etc.. Sometimes it´s Ok, other times not. Can you be more specific, with a screenshot or two? Entry of flightplan does not scroll the fields up when the fourth waypoint has been entered. On the real GNS-430 as soon as the 4th waypoint has been added, the page is scrolled up so that the 5th waypoint can be entered beneath and so forth.. I believe this is a known issue, if not i'll make sure it gets filed. In the MI-8 - is it possible to couple the course indicator / HSI to the GPS ? Will the various navigation points be added (or an option to toggle them on/off) be added to the mission editor / F10 Map ? Mi-8 doesn't have an actual HSI or CDI, so not sure it's possible. I did read on the Russian forums (via google translate) from someone (can't remember who) that the ability to have mission editor waypoints automatically loaded as a flight plan was in the works, but I haven't heard it officially. --gos My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E

lmp Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Just so you know, I had the issue yesterday but today it worked fine. Some elements of the map scrolled, others didn't. I'm not sure 100% it's related to the track up setting, but switching back to north up fixed it yesterday. Anyway, thanks in advance for looking into this.
trancertong Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Some "MENU" menus (like in AUX, among others) do not scroll back up when you scroll all the way down with the right knob, seem to get stuck on the bottom page. Apologies if I'm doing something wrong, but it also seems that creating a waypoint using the cursor on the map and pressing enter does not work as it's described in the manual, it always creates a waypoint that is 0 distance away.

I reported this one tonight, along with a video from a real GNS430W showing the behavior you mention and how it's supposed to work. Thx! --gos Edited September 13, 2017 by gospadin My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E

QuiGon Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 If I'm not mistaken, the use of this device can not be prohibited by server admins, which is a huge issue for Cold War scenarios (and WW2 scenarios if WW2 birds will get this device in the future).

Did you quit DCS and try again? I haven't seen this before, you might wanna disable all mods and run a repair, try again with no mods running. What version are you using btw? 1.5 or 2.1?
dahlgren Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 When inserting waypoints in a flight plan, I believe the new waypoint should be inserted before the highlighted waypoint. At the moment it is inserted after the highlighted waypoint. It doesn't seem to be possible scroll past the 4th waypoint to insert a 5th.
dahlgren Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Also, when activating a leg in a flight plan, you should select the target of the leg. Currently you have to select the source. The confirmation popup is also missing. See for example the following video, starting at 10:00:

ody81 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Next waypoint auto-switch and turn predicate doesn't work Could you give some more details please? I just reported what seemed like waypoint switching problems, so I'd like to know if your problems are unique.
flo57100 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Could you give some more details please? I just reported what seemed like waypoint switching problems, so I'd like to know if your problems are unique. As I approach the end of a leg from my flight plan, the GPS should indicate something like "turn to xxx in nn seconds" before the end of the leg, thus anticipating the turn to the next leg and the flight plan switching to next journey leg. I tried it with the Garmin NS-400 series simulator from Garmin, I entered my flightplan exactly the same as I did in DCS, and this anticipation/auto switch works (that's what we should see (lower right corner): ). An other thing, the terrain warning/danger zone doesn't updates on the NAV>Terrain page when I change my altitude and getting higher than the dangerous relief Edited September 10, 2017 by flo57100

It's getting late here and the sandman's calling but I'll get on it first chance tomorrow unless someone beats me to it. One more question though... Which aircraft are you using?
