correct as is Can't manually enter markpoints via data

[mrprime]

You cannot set markpoints via UFC data, I'm sure this used to work..

 

1. Spawn in a Hornet
2. Bring up HSI on any DDI
3. Select a mark point (e.g. M9)
4. Go to DATA
5. Hit UFC 
6. Enter a valid northing coord
   > Nothing is added to the waypoint - it doesn't flash to show it's invalid, it simply does not update 

 

Following the above steps but using any waypoint in step 3 works as expected. 

 

Setting markpoints otherwise works correctly so far as I can tell, it's just manual entry using coords or GRID

Mark points cannot be created/edited via manual UFC entry.

It absolutely never worked for mark points since their introduction, which is also correct as Tholozor said

Why not just create a waypoint?

Yeah that works fine; I've raised this on behalf of a new F18 driver in a group I fly with who was trying to manually set the mark points because they had a large number of WP's and it was quicker for them to cycle backwards to Mark Point 9 than to Waypoint 20-something.

 

If this is intended that's absolutely fine; but does the jet really allow pilots to enter via the UFC only to ignore it? I'd assume that UFC input shouldn't be offered for Markpoints, but if this is a real world oddity then more than happy to accept that! 

 

Thanks for the replies.

sorry for not replying, this is correct as is. 

 

Markpoints can be used as fly over, or by using the sensors, but not manual input. 

 

thanks

Understood, marked that as solution, thanks for the confirmation.
