Habu_69 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) 2.5.6 seems to have broken this very helpful tool. I entered an issue at his Github. Edited February 20, 2020 by Habu_69
grant977 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 Damn that’s a shame was a wonderful tool.
RodBorza Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Tested it recently. It is broken. bummer... This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
Habu_69 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 I use this app frequently with patch .55960 and it functions flawlessly. Make sure to use the most recent version.
zildac Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I use this app frequently with patch .55960 and it functions flawlessly. Make sure to use the most recent version. No joy for me using 55960 OB and latest version of this app 1.0.0b1. Never captures anything from the map or it gives a map error, using either the FA18 or A10-CII. 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 6600 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero

I have never tested the map capture functions.
zildac Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Well, my post above referred only to the function of entering WP and target coordinates in the cockpit. I have never tested the map capture functions. Understood, it does rarely capture however when I hit "send to aircraft" it just hangs too. Shame as it would save a stack of time especially in the A10 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 6600 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero

RSharpe Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I'm having a trouble with key bindings. I'm really not sure what the problem is, but when the DCS Waypoint Editor window has focus, I can toggle capture. However, when I'm in DCS, the keyboard will not longer trigger the capture. Edited March 30, 2021 by RSharpe
Gizzy Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Just installed as per the instructions and all works well. Great piece of kit.... DCS 2.7.1.7139 Open Beta (had to minimise SRS overlay)
Habu_69 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Advantages over the similar The Way mod are that WP Editor includes WP elevation and weapon delivery coordinates. The Way allows direct input from F10 map in game.
Habu_69 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) After much experimentation I have determined how Santi's very useful tool can be made to sequentially and automatically add waypoints, including elevation, to a Waypoint Editor profile: During Waypoint Editor setup you can assign hotkeys to Capture and Quick Capture; however, the Quick Capture hotkey feature appears non-functioning. Make sure your F10 map is in DD MM SS.ss or MGRS coordinate format. You may cycle coordinate formats with LAlt+LCTL+y. Capture from DCS F10 map Mouse-click in the DCS F10 map and hover your mouse over your desired position Press the key you bound to F10 map capture during first time setup. The capture success will be indicated in the capture status textbox. (Optional) Assign a name to the waypoint. Click Add to add the waypoint to the end of the profile active waypoint list. F10 map Quick Capture Toggle Quick Capture on/off by clicking the WP Editor GUI button. It works in a similar way to regular coordinates capturing, except: 1. Profile must include one WP, and a profile WP item must be highlighted by mouse-click before starting Quick Capture. 2. QC will automatically add a waypoint to the end of the profile WP list every time the F10 map capture keybind is pressed. Edited June 26, 2021 by Habu_69

Brainfreeze Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Broken with latest release... In AV8B the UFC switches automatically to Eastern entry after inputting Northern coordinates... no need to to press the key for that. Anyway we can easily fix that in DCS waypoint editor? i9 14900K / 64GB / RTX 4090 / Varjo Aero / Winwing Orion2 + F15EX / Virpil Wrbrd + Alpha Stick + ACE pedals
NatoAviator Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Folks, is anyone using this tool in the F-18 with the Current O.B?
Habu_69 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I have used Waypoint Editor with Hornet for a couple of years. Functions well, with 2 caveats. the Quick Capture hot key does not work (the GUI button does work) and waypoints can not be captured in ocean areas. Ocean area waypoints must be entered into the GUI manually. The hot key for Capture From F10 Map does work, as well. I have also used The Way program. It works as advertised, but lacks the pre-programmed weapoin target feature of Waypoint Editor. The Waypoint Editor developer, Santi__, seems to have abandoned this work. I initiated a couple of Github issues and attempted to contact him with no joy. Edited January 7, 2022 by Habu_69
plaiskool Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Using it on hornet, working well on hornet, was fed up to enter manually the coordinate so this is great.
Gosling Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 How do we use this for the Nevada Map please?
Wood Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Hi all. Does this work good in the MP environment and does it work well in VR. Cheers Wood Windows 10, Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.40GHz, 32GB ram , GTX 4060Ti
Brainfreeze Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 It does yes. However, it has not been updated in a while and some aircrafts have received changes. The tool will not work with the Av8b anymore for example i9 14900K / 64GB / RTX 4090 / Varjo Aero / Winwing Orion2 + F15EX / Virpil Wrbrd + Alpha Stick + ACE pedals
