Where the CK37 store waypoints? Cartridge file?

[Elwood]

Hey Viggen drivers,

yesterday night on the Cold War server, I did the same flight.

 

Sometimes I accidentally :music_whistling: ehmm... crashed (due to SAM activity, flying between powerlines and three as some drawbacks) so manually waypoint reinsert was needed into the fantastic CK37.

 

Can I save/reload the cartridge file?

 

Will it work after few days.

Inflight changes are not saved anywhere.

 

However, you can create a cartridge file somewhere in your Saved Games folder. There you can input a flightplan and select it at startup in-game using special keyboard commands. There is a kneeboard page where it says something like "Selected Cartridge: X" with a number, usually 0 which is the one from the mission editor.

 

It is still a new Beta feature though.

Sounds great!

Let me ... to recap.

 

Creating this file (at anytime is checked every 10 seconds) will allow me to load data from the kneeboard, the one where to reload/rearm from BAS 90 ground unit.

%SAVEDGAMES%/DCS_AJS37/CustomCartridge.ini

Never tested this feature. But if you create the corresponding file (in the correct format) you can hit the special keyboard command to switch the selected cartridges. You can observe this in the said kneeboard page. After that inserting a cartridge will insert this selected cartridge. The 0 cartridge is the one from the mission editor.

 

Let us know if it worked :)

[Elwood]

Uhmmm.

No luck.

I created that file next to the ELINT data but the cartridge still to 0.

Let's wait for the next patch ;-)

There is a key-binding (I don’t remember the name) which you select which cartridge to load. If you have the relevant kneeboard page up you will see which one you have selected (starts with 0, press once for 1, and then 2... etc). Cartridge #1-5 are the ones in the init.lua-file and #6 is the auto-generated one, and finally #7 should be the one you have in your saved games folder. Sorry this is a bit rudimentary at the moment.

[Elwood]

Ah, now I think I got your point and tonight I will verify if the following works.

 

That number in the kneeboard is not the number of available flight plans but the index of what you want in the cartridge.

So, with the new binded key select the index to #7 and load the cartridge in our loved Viggen computer.

From that point I can change the CustomCartidge file anytime (just wait 10 seconds) with a 9099.... easy like install an app from the Saab appstore on the CK37 device :-D

 

Is absolutely fine, I can understand not user experience software design at this stage :-D

Here’s a video of how to select a cartridge: Sharing Pre-flight Planning concept

It did work pretty well.

Did a good anti ship mission sinking two ships on Cold War server.

Planning the mission with the CustomCartridge.ini an then BX8 for the Rb15.

 

Initially did not go, no distance bar on the HUD, then yes not sure what happen.

 

Thank you all!
