jubuttib Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Heya, I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to find the co-ordinates that the off-axis point is set to from within the plane? Beyond slaving the WMD-7 to it and using the on-screen readouts, I mean. This would be most useful for me when not equipped with the targeting pod at all. It doesn't seem to appear in the DST database, it doesn't change the SPI co-ordinates that are in DST 40 while active, you can't create a markpoint based on it (or at least I wasn't able to, I activated the OAP, saw it change on the HSD, then saved a designate markpoint, but it was the same as the original SPI)... Can't really think of anything that could do it beyond like trying to use the A-G radar cursor or something... For an example of a use case, I could for example use the radar to scan for ships out at sea, see how they're moving, then set up an OAP that's 20 km behind them, and copy those co-ordinates to a turn point (DST 30-35) and have my C-802AKs come in from behind them.

j5bit Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Maybe you figured it out -- but just thinking out loud -- 1. Designate your 20nm point behind the ship 2. Open DST page and page until WYPT 40 3. COPY 40, then PASTE on 30...35
Napillo Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 No, you want to set your own OAP? the weapons use the OAP and the designated point, so the only way to get the coordinates of the OAP, you have to have the designated point and then do the calculation yourself. On the weapon itself you can specify the OAP or not, but no you can't get the gps coordinates.
