F10 markpoints

[colubridae]

I am unable to load markpoints into the CAS system.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

 

please help

I've attached a track file, but it is if the rshift+ralt+8 combo is not functioning.F10 markpoint test.trk

You have recognized that the ATHS import has changed?

Yes thanks buur.

If you run the track you can see that (i think) i've created the markpoints correctly

e.g. #TP1

 

they just aren't being uploaded for some reason.

unfortunately I can't see that you add some markers in your track file.

But tested by me and it works. 

And yes, #TP1 is correct

As said, unfortunately the track doesn't replay your actions on the F10 map, so we don't see your F10 map labels, etc.

I've taken control of your track and recorded myself entering F10 map CAS labels #TP01 and #TP02 and slaving the DMT to the selected targets - the flying isn't pretty but you might spot something of use.

AV-8B ATHS CAS F10 Map labels

RShift + RAlt + 8 to receive ATHS message (F10 map label coordinates)

Move MPCD line cursor to the desired message
Select CAS to open the CAS page
Select USE to assign the desired Target Point using the UFC i.e. 1 then ENTER

Video of me taking control of your track and assigning F10 map ATHS Labels to the AV-8B's CAS Message List using RShift+RAlt+8

Tested using DCS Open Beta 2.8.1.34667

Followed the video but it just doesn't work for me.  Has this changed since the video was made?

 

I can load the targets fine and see them in the recall.

I then click Use and 'T01' appears on the scratchpad immediately instead of the '0' yours shows.

If I hit enter on T1 or click 1 and hit enter, the EHSD doesn't move at all.  it just sits at Waypoint 1.

Do you know how I can get the EHSD to stop focusing on waypoints and focus on the target points?

See this post for the new procedure:

In brief, WINC LONG (or long press on the Arrow Keys for WP on the EHSD) and select TGT POINT on the ODU.

Thanks, it turned out my issue was that I was leaving the INS selector on the GND mode after startup and takeoff.

Needed to turn it to NAV or IFA for it to work. (Not exactly sure what IFA means though)

IN FLIGHT ALIGNMENT

(as I understand it, it uses GPS to continually update the Alignment vs. NAV which is prone to INS Drift and is used in PRE-GPS timeframes)

 

But, yeah you can't leave in in GND

Glad you got it sorted out. It is a powerful feature of the Harrier!!
