Aspiteri9 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Apologies for the new guy question. there may already be an answer somewhere that I just couldn't find. Going from the BMS F16(Is that taboo to mention on this site??) to the DCS F14, is obviously a significant step back in many ways in technological advancement. Dont get me wrong, I love both. :thumbup: However, for the life of me, I cant find anywhere that would help me to get overhead waypoints accurately. Other than calculating manually via GS, time and miles to run, is there any other method in the cockpit to show you current ETA with current GS? Thanks in advance.
draconus Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Possible within the RIO pit currently. Time-to-go to the next waypoint can be shown on the TID. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4000662&postcount=2 Edited June 19, 2020 by draconus Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
IronMike Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Not that I would remember, I just went through the NAV section quickly again, and I did not find anything. Maybe later versions like the D had it, but the B and A you'd have to just do it the old fashioned way. I'll ask Spiceman though, our backseat maintainer SME, in case I overlooked something. If there was, he will know. BTW the formulas ofc I think everyone knows and are fairly easy, but if you dont wanna do it in your head, this is a neat tool: https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/math/speed-distance-time-calculator.php (OFC dont forget to convert mph, etc into knots at the end) Edited June 19, 2020 by IronMike Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Aspiteri9 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Thanks very much. Will take a look ASAP. Much appreciated.
Spiceman Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 TTG on the TID is the only tool. By the time the F-14 was doing any serious A/G , handheld GPS was a thing and the crews would carry store-bought handheld GPS. The first one I remember seeing was the GPS III Pilot.
