[REPORTED] UTM grid availability

[Aernov]

This example is from instant action mission "Ready on the ramp"

 

W3 is in FH grid, so, according to (my understanding of) provided guide to UTM coordinate system, only 37T zone squares should be available to select for new point entry, while ODU shows three squares from 37U. Interestingly enough, with other waypoints selected grid restrictions were present:

 

From KM square only zone 38T grid was selectable.

Also, should UTM grid availability for new point entry be relative to point selected on DATA page earlier, or should it be relative to aircraft position?

@Aernov Thanks for the report.

 

It seems to me as well that the WPT 3 should be restricted only to the 37T square zones, more specifically EH, FH, GH EG, FG, HG.

 

I have added that to the internal bug system.

Note: checking MGRS coordinates in the ME, the mouse cursor returns 37S and 37T prefixes in the "37" vertical strip i.e. north of 37T, 37U --> 37T.

 

It may be that the AV-8B UFC is checking for 37T but a DCS function is misreporting.
