greyeagle787 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hey Guys, I have the scratchpad version with the keyboard and for the life of me, I can't find the white Dot. I moved the scratchpad around and the map around and did not see it. Any Ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/releases/tag/0.5.0 for the latest version, but be aware, the keyboard is not in it. That is something someone added in themselves and posted here.

I'm sure it's something obvious! Probably off screen in VR. Try moving it more to the center of the screen in non-VR, or removing DCS.openbeta\Config\ScratchpadConfig.lua (or deleting windowPosition from it). I'll add something to detect if the Scratchpad is off screen eventually. Author of Scratchpad, DATIS, and maintainer of DCS-gRPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed-of-heat Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Coordinates are now added in the formatted best suitable for the aircraft you are sitting in, or all formats (DDM, DMS and MGRS) are added if you are a spectator, or the aircraft you are sitting in hasn't been specifically added to the Scratchpad code. maybe this ? three formats ?

kaltokri Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I've contacted Binary to integrate the keyboard. But it will take some time.

imacken Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Excellent news! Your amazing utility is not really usable in VR without the virtual keyboard, so I'm still using the older version. 1 Intel i7 12700K · MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 · ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A Wi-Fi · MSI 32" MPG321UR QD · Samsung 970 500Gb M.2 NVMe · 2 x Samsung 850 Evo 1Tb · 2Tb HDD · 32Gb Corsair Vengance 3000MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · Tobii Eye Tracker 5 · Thrustmaster F/A-18 Hornet Grip · Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Base · Virpil Throttle MT-50 CM3 · Virpil Alpha Prime Grip · Virpil Control Panel 2 · Thrustmaster F-16 MFDs · HTC Vive Pro 2 · Total Controls Multifunction Button Box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz1004 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I love the new mechanics. Great job. But is aircraft specific working correctly? I thought A10C only uses DDM and MGRS. But it shows DMS and MGRS. Basically same as Hornet. A10C-2 Hornet. Same as A10C. Does Hornet use MGRS?

I don't fly the A10C so I could have found the wrong information while trying to find out which format the A10 uses. I suppose that it makes sense that it is the same format as the F16 ('cause airforce) and I've looked into the manual of the A10 which looks like DDM, too. I've updated the mod to return DDM for the A10, I'll not make a new release right away, but you can still get the latest version with the change here: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/archive/refs/heads/master.zip Btw, if anyone wants to update the formats for their favourite plane, feel free to send a pull request.

Ready Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Is there a way to have the scratchpad open and still use the numpad of the keyboard to enter coordinates into the CDU? Currently everything gets entered into the scratchpad when it is open, so I have to use the mouse to punch buttons on the actual CDU or UFC.

Captain Orso Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Or if you are still on the F10 map, click outside of the scratchpad window to shift the focus off the SP. I'm not sure if this works in the cockpit. 1 When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

Captain Orso Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The whole point of the SP is to quickly and easily grab the coordinates of a point on the map for using in-cockpit, like creating waypoints. Since the last excellent update which lets you copy the coordinates onto the SP with a single click, work has become SOOOO much easier. But in the ME what would you do with the coordinates other than create a waypoint? When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.
