One small issue with coordinates


Recommended Posts

Why are all coordinates in the kneeboard in degrees, minutes and decimal minutes and not degrees, minutes and seconds. You can only input the last format (and to a limited extent mgrs). However, the coordinates are all displayed in degrees, minutes and decimal minutes (e.g. in TPOD).
If you want to create a bullseye waypoint for example, you need an external tool to convert the given position to the correct format.

That was a mistake on my part when creating the briefing docs. Sorry about that. Converting it shouldn't require a tool. A calculator or math should do it. I'm working in some additional updates with the AI logic on all the missions and part of that I'll put the coordinates in the proper format. To be honest throughout the campaign if you study you brief and know where the bullseye is and where you are you wouldn't have to do an offset too many times.
