dcs76 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 When a symbol is hooked on the TAD page, it should be possible to create a waypoint with OSB 17 based on that hookships coordinates. Entering something in the scratchpad before hitting OSB 17 creates a waypoint with the entered name. I would like to have this feature added to the Tank Killer. At the moment this requires more work and wastes a markpoint, as you have to create a markpoint and then use CDU to create an actual waypoint based on that markpoint. We use this quite a lot during our sorties to mark, share and store locations which we will work on during the remainder of the mission.
Snoopy Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 I think what you’re referring to is the Hooked Location Copy function. It doesn’t create a way point per say but makes it the next available mission point that can then be used to create a waypoint. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
Frederf Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 It works like that now except for the instant naming. You don't even have to hook it, just TAD cursor over *?1 appears. Press OSB, new waypoint created at TAD object location. In the old A-10C module (if memory serves) if you had text in the scratch pad it would instantly be the text ID of that new point. Either that's changed in latest version (A10C and A10C II) or I'm not remembering. Right now it doesn't take the text from the scratch as name but it does bring the new point up on the WAYPT page on creation so stuffing scratch into the name field is a simple second action. No mark points are needed to do this. I'm not distinguishing between the terms "waypoint" and "mission point". The points created in this way are limited to the range 1-50.
