Mission 7 - Coordinates don't exactly match target

Spoiler

Not sure if you did this intentionally @Badger633, but the target coordinates given after destroying the three vehicles, do not exactly match the target location.

(actual target location)

 

 

Sorry for the poor quality.. Screenshots in VR are pretty miserable

EDITED RESPONSE: The coordinates are correct. As suggested by Padre Pio below you are not using the correct format of Precise coordinates. Information how to set this up is, I think, in item 3 under 'Tips' in the brief for this mission. These coordinates are not exact and you will have to look for the house.

Hope this helps.

In my feeling, you have  wrong coordinates format in your HSI->DATA system. Your TGP shows in decimal minutes (DD-MM.DMDM). The ones you receive are usually with decimal seconds (DD-MM-SS.DS). Typical user's mistake for this module.

 

In my case the coordinates were OK, however they were not pointed exactly on the mentioned house, but few meters beside. Anyhow, one GBU has worked and did its job.

Thanks for picking Sirrah's query up, you are correct  and no the given coordinates are not meant to be exactly on target.

Ah ok, thanks.

Seems I need to go and find out how to switch between DD-MM.DMDM and DD-MM-SS.DS in the HSI then...

My pleasure

You have 2 steps:

1. HSI->DATA:  "Precise" switch

2. HSI-> DATA-> A/C:     "LatLN DCML"  switch

 

You will see the results in format change on any digital waypoint data. Then you may enter coordinates.
