Were A'm I ?

[herig2]

In SP there are maps and external views that show latitude and longitude. As I 'm just starting to fly in Hyperlobby, Were the maps and external views are disabled. I getting lost especially in the mountians. I print out a map and use landmarks, lakes, rivers, etc. to try to find were I am. I take note of the headings and used them to get back on course after going combat or to find home plate.

I fly the A-10. In the game the CDU, control display unit in the right console, shows a stationary display. The Firchild A-10 pilot's flight operating instructions manual, states the it will show ongoing latitude and longitude readings.

In short how to you guys know were you are ? HELP !!

. . . . sounds like you're doing everything you can, I don't have any more suggestions. Once you're lost, it's either follow the tadpole to a known waypoint, or start VFR navigation.

 

Try Googling up tips on RL VFR navigation - it's effectively what you're having to do in the A-10.

 

 

The latitude/longitude display would be useful if it worked, but the A-10 isn't modelled to that level of detail. Maybe in future sims - ED have just finished a much more detailed A-10C desktop sim for the USAF, so shouldn't be short of data - but not quite yet.

Study the map before going into the mission.
