Are we limited to 15 waypoints?

[Gierasimov]

Hi

In the mission editor, I have got 21 waypoints. On the Hornet HSI sequence, I see only WP 0 through to WP 14. tried deleting some in-flight but it makes no difference.

Many more I think 60 waypoints is max but I believe there is a limit showing of 14 when sequenced.

Thanks!

OK, so how do I go about setting up remaining ones once I reach WP14? Sequence 2 doe does not include them by default.

 

I can't still get WP 15 even with Sequence1 unboxed.

OK, checking -1 --

 

"24.2.5.5 Waypoint/OAP Sequence Programming. A total of three waypoint/OAP sequences are

available for waypoint/OAP sequence programming and a maximum of fifteen waypoint/OAPs may be

programmed in each sequence. These sequences are used for AUTO sequential steering and time on

target groundspeed cuing."

 

So now another question, can SEQ1, SEQ2, and SEQ3 be programmed via mission editor? I guess not?

Haven't tested but I believe if you un-sequence you can see all the waypoints, when sequenced it is limited to what you said.

I asked the same question the answer is no, it has to be done in cockpit which is quite easy reading Chuck's Guide.

[Gierasimov]

Fair enough, thanks for your time fitness88.

you have to select SEQ2/3 and then insert the next waypoint numbers in the UFC. If they are pre-planned in the ME, then they will show up on the HSI AFTER you insert the number in the UFC on the new SEQ.

In the real jet waypoints are used to show threat zones, FLOT lines and such on the SA page. I suppose that feature will be implemented at some point.

Hi,

 

Just a question :

 

I can select further waypoint on SEQ2 not boxed. Once box, the selection is not possible and no path are shown on the HSI.

 

Normal a WIP ?

 

Thanks,

Vincent

As I've mentioned before, we will have a data base of 60 waypoints (0-59), from which waypoints can be assigned as SEQ1/2/3, PB/PP, or AA WYPT. This is being worked on as part of the MUMI card.

Great, thank you.

Holy thread resurection batman!!!

I have a mission with many waypoints, 26 I think......does this mean that when I get to the last one that displays, I switch to SEQ2 on the HSI and the next set will be displayed? 

Thanks!

In DCS, only SEQ1 is automatically populated with the first 15 waypoints (WP0 - WP14). The rest of the waypoints are available for navigation and targeting, outside of SEQ1 (you need to unbox SEQ1 to access WPs outside of it), but are not automatically placed in SEQ2 and SEQ3.

In your case, if you want SEQ2 to contain WP15 - WP26, you need to insert them yourself, using the SEQUFC option in the DATA->WYPT submenu of the HSI.

Ok, thanks…….can this be done before the flight starts or in the mission editor? Or does it have to be done by hand in the jet, after you have flown past number 15?

It cannot be done in the Mission Editor. You can of course modify each and every waypoint and / or sequence in the jet as as soon as the avionics are powered, you don't have to fly past an arbitrary point to modify the "following" ones.

Ok, thanks, in this case, I simply don’t have the time , it’s a formation trainer and there are complex manoeuvres every minute of so and I can’t go heads down…….

You can program the other sequences on the ground, before takeoff. In general, you have three Sequences available, of up to 15 WPs each. You can insert and delete WPs from a Sequence at any point after the jet and the mission computers are powered up and WPs have been loaded. You can even create a Sequence of random WPs, such as 1-5-12-3-6-12-4, depending on the order that you insert them.

In DCS, SEQ1 is populated automatically with the first 15 WPs. SEQ2 and SEQ3 are empty when you spawn, but you can populate them yourself, as mentioned above.

Why don't you program everything on the ground?
