anyone got any tips on how to use this with the harrier, specifically with entering target waypoints for JDAMs? Thanks.

The harrier already has a F10 markpoint system that imports to your CAS page. So, TheWay wouldn't help you much here.

Also the process for JDAMs

 

 

With TheWay you would have to import waypoints and convert to target points.

Thanks for that Taipan.

Had a problem the other day when showing my brother how to use it. After we landed, we started it up but we had no Green Circle on map.

Will try again later

Cheers

Got it going, stupid mistake, forgot to press the cross to start adding. Would like to know if the waypoints are added to your last waypoint or can you select your last waypoint before transferring.

Cheers

Any plans to support the UH-60 Black Hawk mod? I don't know if it is even possible or not but with how much CSAR and CTLD flying the 60 does, I know it would be incredible to have The Way implemented.

Hi. I have added the additional line to the Export.lua of my Saved Games folder, but when I run DCS, TheWay says no connection to DCS. Have I done something wrong? Thank you.

This mod is awesome for VR, thanks heaps! I was able to get it drop in waypoint while setting up my mission and then close the app and launch. Great stuff. 
 

If I could be so bold however as to ask would a future version be capable of populating the Hornet Stores Pre Planned waypoints pages? From what I can determine this is Nat an option at this stage…

I have two versions of DCS instaled, one for VR Multi-thread and one for VR single thread. When I first opened V2 of the Way I used the ST version in VR and all was well. I observe that when I now try to use the MT version that I although the way shows that I am connected to DCS FA18 Hornet in the top LHS of the app, I cannot use the CTRL+SHIFT+S to save a wayoint in this branch of DCS, it is now only working in the ST version.

Do I need to set it up on both independetly and if so, how?

Very useful app but it does not display the cursor on the F10 map on Quest 2 VR headset. The cursor is visible on the 2D display. Everything else seems to work though, just no way to get the correct coordinates in the Q2.

With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.

Is there a way to remove the confirm prompt for the F18 when transferring a waypoint ? ... it renders the whole idea of the VR shortcut useless since it forces you to remove your headset to go back in the GUI to click "confirm". (for every waypoint !)  The whole idea of the shortcuts was be able to use Theway  in VR without remove the headset, right ?

Disregard.  Seems to be fine now 🤷‍♂️

 

Always used this mod - essential.

Has the latest Apache update broken the script?  I can't get the original, or the new one working.

Was fine for the FA18 yesterday.......

Thanks for any feedback 🙂

So, to properly upgrade you must remove the old TheWay.lua file from your Scripts folder. Then paste in the new one for V2, and use the new installer exe for it.

OK, thanks

another request, for VR after you use the S+C+T to transfer the current WP into the jet, can the app delete the list automatically? MY experience last night was I flew around, used C+S+S to save the point, using the scractpad hack ofcourse since the circle is not visible in the Quest 2, and transfered it to the F16. Then later added another target but if created the whole list again in the INS computer. 

EDIT Scratch that, I see there is a C+S+D to delete everything

You have to be inside one of the supported aircraft before it will connect.

Hi Comrade Doge, Looks like a great tool I am getting cannot connect to DCS. Sure I'm doing something stupid...usually best to assume operator error. So I have main DCS Beta on my E:\Drive. I have put the The Way lua in C:\Users\mygamename\SavedGames\DCS Open Beta\Scripts.

I installed the new V2 version, I may have put the 'add this bit to the Lua file' in the wrong place, Its at the very bottom - See attached 7zip files

I ran DCS world Beta, and then tabbed the screen to open The Way, the window appears, but says, cannot connect to DCS world

I opened a Nevada map with an Apache and could set up waypoints on the DCS mission editor map, but could not get The Way to respond.

Feel free to slap me for being daft, no rush either, I'm a patient ex mil guy

THANK YOU

Brilliant tool - big thanks! Works so easily in the F-16. Struggling wiht the F-18 Jdams (J82) to get it to work properly. Is there a step-by-step tutorial somewhere on how to use in the Hornet? I cannot get the bombs to ready for release?

I'm sure its pilot error as I've not flown n the Hornet for ages. I can get the co-ord data transferred over correctly and get the Jdams on countdown to ready but the pp1 mission remains crossed out. I have jdams set to pp mode, instant fuse.

I checked the data was in precise and correct co-ord mode selected before data transfer.
