CH4Pz Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Im working my way through the red flag campaign, and in this mission the JTAC gives coordinates in MGRS (NB627583), so i watched Wags video on converting coordinates to MGRS (select sp21, dobber right) and it does convert, i fill out all the info, but no waypoint shows up, and if i hit RTN, and go back into 4 "STPT" , all the data is reset again. In wags video, he already has the long/lat inserted and just does the conversion, and all other vids are 1-2 years old and only enter in long/lat, so not sure how to enter the data in MGRS. Any idea what im doing wrong or is it a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMBluecher Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I looked for this when I was doing this mission as well. What I seemed to find (not 100% sure this is accurate) is that the F-16 is supposed to eventually be able to put MGRS coordinates in, but it can't at the moment. So the best way to do this (which is a pain, but doable) is to look on the Internet for an MGRS-to-Lat-Long converter, write down the MGRS coordinates while the game is paused, use the converter to put them into Lat-Long, and then either edit an existing steerpoint or create a new one with the Lat-Long coordinates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTurista Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The F-16 in its current implementation already accepts MGRS coordinates. Select steerpoint 21 Use right dobber to convert to MGRS Fill all data Dobber down, untill you select "CNVRT" PRESS ENTER Refresh the current steerpoint by selecting a different one and back to 21. mgrs.trk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH4Pz Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Sorry took a bit @UTurista, my missions got wiped and had to get back to this one, but thanks heaps for the video, appreciate you taking the time to make it! i do think it works, but the mission its self is pretty vague so had to guess some values (no elevation or sector) so wasnt exact but did manage to find em. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
