[CAP] Waypoints / No longitude can be entered

[viper2097]

When I try to input manual waypoints, I can do that for the Latitude and Alt, but not for Longitude.

 

Here I did a video:

That's weird. It works fine for me. What I do:

1) Press CLEAR

2) Press LAT

2) Press N+E

3) Enter coordinates

4) Press Enter

5) Press CLEAR

6) Press LONG

7) Press N+W (or S-W if on NTTR map or western part of Normandy map)

8) Enter coordinates

9) Press Enter

10) Press CLEAR

Done

 

Works fine for me

I can't see the TID correctly, but you're entering E 41 48 13 and as far as I know, the system can handle only 5 numerals, leading the system to interprete your input as E 414.81.3 which it declines.

 

Try entering E 41 48 1 and see if it accepts that.

Looney, you nailed it!

Thx, this was the problem, it should be entered only one decimal.

 

Background:

When aligning, I used the Kneeboard. There is only one decimal.

When entering the waypoint, I used DCS F10 coordinates, which have two decimals.

Did not yet noticed that I've entered one decimal too much.

Glad it got sorted!
