jeroen79 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 On the Su-27 and MiG-29 (in LO 1.0x) you can see what navmode you're in on the HUD and which waypoint or airfield is selected on the MFD on a map. With [`] you can cycle through the waypoints/airfields. The F-15 and A-10 show the navmode and waypoint on the HUD. You can cycle through waypoints with [`] but you cannot change the selected airfield. It is not indicated which airfield is selected but it seems that it is either the airfield with a land-waypoint in the flightplan or the closest airfield at the begin of the mission. On the Su-25 there is no indication of the navmode or the selected waypoint/airfield. The only way to know what is selected is by knowing your current position and reading the bearing and distance off the HSI. You can cycle through airfields and waypoints with [`]. Will 1.1 change this? Can we change the selected airfield in the F-15 and A-10? Will the A-10, F-15 and Su-25 give a clear indication of the selected waypoint/airfield? Waypoints could be identified by their number and each airfield could be given a code (radio frequency?). This number/code could then be displayed somewhere. How do the real planes handle this? I know the US uses TACAN and I assume the Russians have a similar system.
