TomCatGoad Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Has anyone else noticed that since the last update (yesterday's open beta) that using the F10 map method of placing way points (B, Bx and M) seems to place them somewhere else, its particularly bad on the stock map however have had the issue on Gulf as well. Was sat at Kobuleti and placing a way point on myself would place it over 400KM away, whilst entering using the keypad method placed it directly on top of me. Am I being an idiot or has something changed? Also on all my pre-saved missions (including the included ones) all the Viggens seem to be spawning backwards (pointing nose into hangars etc).
MYSE1234 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I saw that aswell when i flew on Blueflag PG yesterday. Waypoints being nowhere close to where you place them on the F10 map. Viggen is love. Viggen is life. 7800X3D | RTX 4070 Ti S | 64GB 6000MHz RAM |

Glad someone else is having the problem and me and my mates are not being thick. Guess I'll go fly something else till its fixed. (Because I am way to lazy to write down all my way points and copy them into the computer)

Eira Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) HAHA. Was just coming to the forums to ask about this. Glad to know i'm not the only one going 'GAH WTF'. Just get around to figuring i'd try the waypoint navagation instead of just 'fart flying around'. Read the guides, punch it all in, and 'what do you mean my waypoint is.. 30 'miles' away... RAGE!!!!! half an hour later, check forums 'oh'. Edited August 17, 2019 by Eira
Knock-Knock Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Entering waypoints/coordinates manually works fine though. Its only the map mark translation that is off atm. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |
TomCatGoad Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 Entering waypoints/coordinates manually works fine though. Its only the map mark translation that is off atm.Yeah but part of the beauty of the f10 input was if you have a flight of 3 a/c one person enter the marks and everyone has all the marks in the same place, and it saves tonnes of time. Also it's not like the flight crew sat there for 10 mins punching in the waypoints. They were loaded onto the data cartridge for them. Just cause there is a work round doesn't stop it being a bug.

Eira Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 while we are having a conversation about the f10 waypoint system, is there any way to set 'altitude' to waypoints via this? or it it just a 'x,y you worry about Z' system?

Airhunter Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Yes, it is completely wrong. I was switching out cartriges and re-loading them like crazy today thinking to myself what the **** was going on. :D Entering the coordinates manually stil works though, which was what I did in the end.

viper2097 Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Just tested it quickly on the NTTR map and it seems to be fixed. Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules
Eira Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Confirmed. Fixed. And these missiles (rb-15's) are so awsome, yay :D

leonardo_c Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 yes! working perfectly. Thank you very much for the quick fix ;) I was disappointed because it wasn't listed in the latest update fixes but then I received this nice surprise. My DCS Campaigns - DOWNLOAD
Floydii Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Reference the f10 map waypoint system: Has the ability to add time-on-target been added yet? I recall the devs showing something along those lines a while ago. If it has been added, what are label texts that need to be used for it?
