[NOTISSUE] Can't insert waypoints via F10 menu

[mgabriel93]

Hi, all!

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't insert waypoints anymore on my Jeff using the F10 map. The last time I used it was 2 or 3 updates ago, so I don't know if something changed on the procedures or if the update broke something. My steps are the following:

1 - Create a new mission (tried on Syria and Caucasus) on the mission editor

2 - Add only the JF-17, Player / Client, Take off from parking hot / Take off from ramp, no loadout

3 - Insert the labels "WPT1", "WPT2", "PP1", "RP1", "RP2" for instance

4 - Contact ground, load some weapons

5 - Contact ground, ask to update the DTC data

6 - After the update, insert the DTC on the plane, select "All" and load it

 

After these steps, my plane updates the SMS but doesn't load the waypoints. Is there any new step I should do, or is this a bug from the last update?

updated:

for WPT labels added in ME, it doesn't take effect since they can directly add waypoints there

WPT label is only for F10 in game, and just tested, it works

Thanks for the answer!

Is there something I'm getting wrong? The waypoints from the Mission Editor are loading as usual, but any waypoint I create from the F10 menu doesn't load. When I ask to update the DTC, my SMS gets updated, but my NAV does not.

 

There is how I'm doing on the F10, and how it shows after updating the DTC and loading

I managed to get it working. After trying to delete and recreate some files on my saved folder, I figured out it was my logbook.lua file.

Since I didn't want to lose my progress, I went line by line replacing the new generated file and copying the old values. It seems my old one didn't have anything on the "callsign" entry, it was empty as in the picture below. It seems to be the problem.

I don't know if it's working as intended, but since this solution was a bit hard to find, I'll leave this as a feedback for someone who may have this problem in the future.

Did you check if your callsign was empty on your Logbook? My callsign was empty before my first post. It took me some time after your first answer to figure out wich file was causing trouble on my end and solve it. Every time I delete my callsign, the waypoints don't load.

I don't know why it was empty before, and it's working now (I'm on 2.7.7 beta, btw).
