Sylosis Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 I'm wondering what I'm doing incorrectly in a campaign mission where a ground unit gives me the coordinates for a target. I create a new waypoint at that location but when selecting it, first issue is that it doesn't really seem to be at the same coordinates that I entered. The coordinates in EHSD are not what I entered and also I can see in my HUD that the waypoint indicator is not on my target. Second issue is that if I push DESGN, the TPOD doesn't appear to be ground stabilized. It's kinda pointing at the ground, but it's drifting like it's not locking to the waypoint. If I use a preprogrammed waypoint, it behaves like I would expect (it locks at the waypoint and is ground stabilized). What am I doing wrong? Is it simply because I don't enter elevation? Cause my ground unit calling for support is just giving me coordinates. Windows 10-64bits, i7-8700k, GTX 1080Ti, 32 Gb RAM, MSI Monitor 32in 165Hz.

Tess Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 I had the same problem and you are quite correct to state that it is because there is no elevation against the waypoint. I might be wrong but I thought the elevation was supposed to be provided by the terrain elevation database in the jet, but this does not seem to be happening.
zildac Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 I think this behaviour has changed recently. You now need to include an elevation for the point in order for the pod to snap correctly. @Sylosisis this per chance the Kerman campaign mission 3? 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 6600 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero

Yes, you are correct, that is the mission and it's the 3rd "target" I'm asked to engage (rocket launchers in the woods). Windows 10-64bits, i7-8700k, GTX 1080Ti, 32 Gb RAM, MSI Monitor 32in 165Hz.
