Dear all, we are happy to announce the introduction of Navgrid to the TID, which includes also appropriate Jester menus, so that you can use it in Singleplayer and Multiplayer alike. Navgrid will release with the next F-14 update, and if you would like to read up or learn up in the meantime, you can do so either in the updated manual section, or from the video Jabbers was kind enough to make.

Home Fries Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Definitely looking forward to NAVGRID! Sure beats dialing up DP/Man and reading bulls off the HSI repeater. On the plus side, though, this technique helped brush off the TACAN point-to-point procedures I learned back in the day to figure out intercepts of aircraft called with bulls. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Sajarov Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Great addition. Thanks to post it with enough time to learn how it works. :megalol:

viper2097 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Updated manual even before the patch is out? Awesome! Thats how it should be done. Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules

You guys really know how to make someone fail NNN in the worst way. :( Looking forward to the big changelog (hopefully) releasing for Q4 stuff.
EntropySG Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 thank you so much HB , cant wait to check out the NavGrid!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Psyph3r Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Thank You! Excellent work guys! Now more to study:yes: --=_Flying Since LOMAC_=--
lucky-hendrix Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 So, all praise indeed. But did anyone try to use it actually? From a cold start, I can't get the navgrid to center on a desired location.? Manual says that it should center on one of the waypoint in the order :,HA, ...... HA is defined bo are wp1,wp2 ... HB and others. Yet my navgrid still shows in a lat/long of 0N 0E. Am I doing something wrong ? How do you change navgrid location from cold start or during flight? Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

IronMike Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 If not performed otherwise through Jester or RIO inputs, the initial YY of NAVGRID will always be on the bullseye in the mission editor.

I just enter the NAVGRID from scratch by entering in the desired LAT/LONG for it on the CAP. Seemed to work just fine Do you have a repeatable process for making this work. I select a dummy waypoint before entering NAVGRID so that I don't overwrite my present position, but even then this technique doesn't appear to be foolproof. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Salty Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) So what I do to make my nav grid work is ill get the coordinates I want to place say N27 39 3 and E54 19 1 so ill go to the DL tab on the CAP and ill select NavGrid once i have it clicked i will press N/E Lat 27 39 3 *enter* Clear N/E Long E 54 19 1 *enter* and clear it should be set up on those coordinates from there you can edit the Axis, Sectors etc Edited November 30, 2019 by Salty That was some of the best flying I've seen to date...right up to the part where you got killed

Home Fries Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 So what I do to make my nav grid work is ill get the coordinates I want to place say N27 39 3 and E54 19 1 so ill go to the DL tab on the CAP and ill select NavGrid once i have it clicked i will press N/E Lat 27 39 3 *enter* Clear N/E Long E 54 19 1 *enter* and clear it should be set up on those coordinates from there you can edit the Axis, Sectors etc That's exactly what I do, and I make sure I have Ground Stab selected. I wonder if my going between the F10 view and F1 while entering the L/L (to get bullseye) is the issue. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Home Fries Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Ok, I've determined that deselecting a waypoint before selecting NAVGRID allowed me to enter the coordinates. My workaround to protect the present position was actually screwing things up. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide

My workaround to protect the present position was actually screwing things up. This is indeed correct, no waypont must be hooked before entering coordinates.
