mark points

[colubridae]

after I've created a mark point, how do i use it?

 

please.

Unbox/Deselect your current SEQ.

 

Use WP decrement arrows to scroll down through M9-1, to reach desired Markpoint.

thanks avro.

 

perfect.

Can we transfer the mark point to our wing mates electronically? I know you can verbally transfer it.

Not at this time. Unsure if this will be possible in the future, but I have read that in real life windman ground target designations can transmit onto your SA page via datalink. Maybe they can be hooked/loaded that way, but I do not know.

Thanks , but can you translate that into noob speak. I cant understand that . Just a bit too acronym / technical . :) hope you can help.

Are we to assume you know how waypoints and waypoint sequences work in hornet?

Yes I know a bit :) Im not an expert.

Well they work almost exactly like any waypoint. In that you have to deselect the current sequence (SEQ1,SEQ2,SEQ3) before you can move to them. The same way you cant select a normal waypoint that isn't part of the sequence you currently have selected.

So you scroll past all mission waypoints to get to markpoints?

Go backwards from Waypoint 0. Then you get markpoints 9 thru 1.

Cheers. thanks for that :)

Just tried this myself. Works well. There must be a way in future updates to share mark points in your flight via datalink?

Yeah, this is an interesting one. Sorely needed but I’m not sure of the real capability.

 

Link 16 obviously has the ability to share some kind of A2G information. The ‘Transmit Designation’ or TXDSG option on the SA page is used for this. But is this a one time transmission of a specific target or markpoint... or is it a continuous transmission of TGT rather like the SPI transmission in the A10? The first option offers more control and a more permanent way to store datalink received targets.

 

I’m not sure the Hornet could share AG information pre-link 16. Unlike the F-16 for example that had its IDM for years prior to Link 16.

RECCE Mark point switch?

 

Now that we have markpoints, shouldn't the RECCE mark hotas switch create a markpoint when pressed?

 

Is it coming later?

Check RedKite´s tutorial

Yeah I know how to create them through the MFDs. I want to know if doing it via Hotas was a thing in the real plane, more so given the name of the hotas switch...

[DAGI]

The RECCE is for maintenance in the real thing I think, and it toggles the JHMCS.

It is not for making a mark point

Ah ok. I didn’t know TXDSG meat that. To be honest I never thought about it. That seems to be worth researching.

 

Cheers.

Redkite already made a Video about Markpoints:

 

[DeathAngel1]

Can we mark more than 9 points?

[Padonis]

The marked "Markpoints" die after reloading their weapons at the airport. It shouldn't be like that?

[Weasel]

Can we mark more than 9 points?

No, max 9 mp

[amalahama]

Can we upgrade markpoints to waypoints?

Markpoints ARE waypoints. I guess the pilot can record the coordinates, then create a new waypoint in the flight plan sequence. Unaware of any more convenient method.
