NAVGRID Small Error, Small Observations and Small Requests

[Panny]

Hi there,

Just wanted to collect a few things in which it would be great to have some added functionality on NAVGRID.

1. NAVGRID manual reference from map

Since the last update, when you input NAVGRID ref from map(i.e. Bullseye), Jester will input what he thinks to be altitude. Since YY is just a reference point however, he just shifts the grid coverage.  It's not a big issue, it's just weird to see him do it. I believe he also tries to enter the 'altitude' even if you manually provide him a coordinate.

2. With Jester NAVGRID functionality, is it possible to be able to manually tell Jester our desired grid coverage and threat axis? The existing method of grid heading absolute and grid coverage is moderately useful(grid heading relative I don't fully understand), but would be far better to just input the desired numbers much like how we can manually enter the coordinates of a waypoint or YY.

3. Is it possible to have a Jester specific binding to enable and disable NAVGRID? I use this function quite a lot, but it's quite a few menus to get through(contextual - main - navigation - navgrid).

 

I'm aware that NAVGRID isn't something that's frequently used by the wider community, no less without a proper RIO, but it would be greatly appreciated if some of these changes were made to have a little more fidelity over the function.

 

If you have any further questions, or need me to provide anything more please don't hesitate to get in contact.

Cheers,

Peter

Additionally - it would be great in the Beyond Visual Range/Within Visual Range/Contract Jester menu to have the option to disable his TCS function, or adjust at what ranges he attempts to gain a VID.

When you STT a contact, regardless of range, he'll attempt to spot it via the TCS meaning you briefly lose TID information such as target aspect or the velocity vector of the contact. To have him just leave the TCS alone would be excellent while I manage my BVR timeline.

Cheers!

FYI there are jester binds for switching between aircraft and ground stabilised - I use this to switch between Navgrid + ground and aircraft stabilised when committing.

Yeah I do use that quite a lot, but I'd also like to change between vanilla gnd stab and NAVGRID so I can easily get a centered view
