Inputting Co-Ordinates in VR

[C3PO]

...is a real PITA for creating steerpoints from the map. In the Viper I have to flip back and forward between map and DED display, and each time re-select the target to get the co-ordinates. Much easier obviously out of VR but then that is a different start up. Wish there was an easy way to select and directly transfer to the avionics system ... it is easier in the Harrier of course.

Yeah you really need to pre plan these before the mission and even worse there is no kneeboard editor for quickly making them available in the ME. I really hope they will change this at it seems a massive oversight and compared to most of the stuff ED do, seems a simple change?

Brilliant - I think that is just what I need

Vaicom also has a kneeboard extension that allows you to dictate.  Just bring up the kneeboard, tell it to "start dictate" then read off the coords.  The coords will be in your notes for the rest of the mission.

You can also use my mod to maintain radio messages displayed in cockpit view as long as you want, and have map coordinate  (F10) displayed in front of you when in cockpit view. No need to write or dictate anything, just two key press : Shitf F3 : copy and freeze message or map coordinates, shift F5 stop display it.

I will have to give that a try, would be great thanks. I have the Kneeboard extension but never really delved into it very far.
