ADDING WPs in Flight

[sublime]

Ok. in flight. I can do coords.

what about chucks guide saying if you put in RPs or PPs you can use waypoints 31 or 36 to nav?

it doesnt work for me?

anyone?

[razo+r]

You enter coordinates like you do for every other waypoint for RP and PP (In the corresponding RP / PP slot of course).

 

Then you select the RP or PP you want just like you do with any other WP for navigation, and then the RP or PP shows up on your map.

RPs are WP 30 to 35. PPs are WP 36-39. Just pick those WP numbers in the DST menu, enter the co-ords, and they work like any other WP. Reset UFCP, pick those numbers in FP-A and you're navigating to them.

weird. I did all that and it didnt work . I must have messed up somewhere along the way. shame, its easier to do it as a f10 marking but since I Got it right using old fashion coords in the ufcp maybe ill stick with that

ironically i cant, no matter how many tutorials and reviews of chucks guides, get the ck802 and Gb6 to work in some modes right

 

i think its much like a problem I Had with the f14 when i started as a mp rio i couldnt get inputting WPs to work. EVER. Until one day I realized every tutorilal and video told you to press clear just one time. and if u did, it didnt work.

I think this may be similar. one small step.

you need to enter DST page, and enter coord on ufcp

sir, as I stated previously, I can easily use the UFCP to enter coords.

HOWEVER, im unable to use f10 to put in WPs in flight, as in put in a f10 marker as RP1 and try waypt 31 or whatever is relevant. others say it works but it doesnt for me. i must be missing a step?

The reason I ask is sometimes typing in the entire coords takes too long, or w.e

for example in HBs F14 module you can add a marker on the map, and have the AI rio add it as a WP.

the Jeff doesnt have a rio, but thats what Im looking for basically - f10 marker with RP or PP 1 and able to use it to navigate to in emergency.

ok so essentially the RP and PPs can be used for navigation waypoints

however it seems everyone misunderstood my question and inadverntly answered it

SO BASICALLY - you cannot easily f10 mark something and then name it say RP 1 and then select waypoint 31 (or whatevers right) and youll go there as a nav point....? am i right? you still have to manually enter all the coords.. which makes it the same as entering waypoints any other way and i dont really see where youd want or need to do this

You can’t just put marks down on the F10 menu and they magically pop up in your DST list. You still need to update the DTC after you put anything on the F10 map before it shows up in the DST page.

 

you would use this feature to attack preplanned targets and it’s not something you’d do in flight for targets of opportunity (in that case you’d have to enter coordinates manually like you said)

No, you can easly set f10 marks and use them as navigation marks but not in flight. After you set your points you have to ask groundcrew to update your DTC and after that you have to upload them into your aircraft. You cant do that in flight because you are unable to contact ground crew. So the only way inflight is to enter all coords into the DST page. For more informations, I recommend you to read Chucks guide for the JF-17 page 362 and following.
