TAF GCI station list doesn't show MGRS anymore

[Rongor]

It was so convenient to see the MSGR "XY12" coordinates in the kneeboard for friendly radar sites outside of airfields.

Now this has changed and there are only some 4 digit numbers added.

What is this about? Is that an intentional change or a bug?

How am I supposed to quickly see where this station is located?

This is how it looked until recently. You could somewhat conveniently simply open the F10 map, switch to MGRS coord display and then locate these sites (Hawk sites for example)

 

 

 

Now the MGRS coords have been sacrificed for some random unit ID numbers. So you can't really locate them anymore.

Hi,

I don't think anything changed. The line shows "unit_name / MGRS".

In the first screenshot unit name was empty, while in the second one unit name is too long, the end is cropped with the MGRS.

So as a first fix, if you have control over the mission, just use shorter unit names.

What I can do then is truncate long unit names so that MGRS always shows, or put MGRS before the unit name.
