moespeeds Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Was discussing with a friend this morning, as we haven't figured out a good use for the CAS page. You can drop markpoints on a map, across multiple jets, and import them, but there is no way to differentiate one point from another on the CAS page other than the time stamp that it was added to F10 map. You can't see targets on the F10 map unless this is mission enabled, which it almost never is You can't import coordinates into the F10 map from a TPOD or DMT point, nor can you type coords into the CAS page. So you've gotta find the target on the ground using TPOD or DMT, then write those coords down, then go to F10 and slew around until you find those coords, and drop a mark there. Am I missing something here, or is more functionality planned? It would be great to be able to import a Tpod or DMT target, or just type coords into the CAS page to be shared among the flight.

Harlikwin Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I think it accidentally got added along with the unfinished jdams, so I'd hope there is more functionality coming.

ChickenSim Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 You're supposed to be able to type coordinates into the CAS page. You're supposed to be able to fill out the entire 9 line on the CAS page. There are instructions for how to do this in the TACMAN Vol 1, but we'll see if they actually implement them or leave them out because it's "too cumbersome" to include. Personally I think this is a misunderstanding on their part. I suspect that it isn't clear to Razbam how the jet is actually used operationally, what a typical sortie looks like, or what a ground attack pilot needs to do to manage their systems or say over a radio. This means their interpretation of what is cumbersome or worth inclusion is flawed, I just hope that they lean toward accurately representing the capabilities of the aircraft and not on how they suspect it will get used in DCS multiplayer. "It is also true that we parted ways with Chicken after some disagreements."

Zeus67 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 We will enable the CAS Page editing function.
