Captain Orso Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Hi all you aces. I don't fly the F-16 - yet - but I have a kind of a survey question. When you enter a waypoint, either through LatLong or MGRS entry, once the LatLong or MGRS has been entered, is the ground level elevation of the waypoint already entered for you, or do you have to reference it from somewhere and enter it manually in addition and subsequent to the LatLong or MGRS coordinates? Many t(h)anks in advance When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

Daz85UK Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Sorry to hijack the thread slightly, is it possible to enter MGRS co-ordinates at the moment? If so how do you do it? I've switched to waypoint 21 and changed the DED to MGRS but I cant input co-ords? Thanks Youtube Channel || Twitch

Wags made a video recently discussing how to convert LatLong into MGRS and back, which I think would be the groundwork for the later addition of being able to enter MGRS yourself.

After all, if the target is at 900 feet altitude and you don't enter it, leaving it at 0, if you use the waypoint as a TGT, nothing will ever hit, because everything will be aiming for 900 feet below ground level.
