ataribaby Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 HI, I am new in Lomac and i cant find currently selected waypoint number in vanilla SU-25 cokpit (i not mean SU-25T) . All others have it on HUD but no SU-25. How you using MAP nav mode here? How you know what waypoint is in? Just follow route precisely? It can be hard in heat of battle. Any ideas or recomendations, please?
Case Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Like all Russian planes, there are three NAV modes, enroute, return and landing. You can cycle these modes with the '1' key. Inside the enroute made, you can cycle waypoints with the '~' key and in return and landing you cycle airfields with the '~' key. If you cycle through the NAV modes in the Su-25, you will sometimes see red bars on the ADI (showing pitch and roll). If you have those red bars, the next NAV mode will be the enroute mode and it will be set to waypoint 1. You can then cycle to the next waypoint by counting the number of waypoints you cycle. Cycling through airbases in the return or landing modes is more difficult. For this to work, you need to know which airbase was selected by default. Each airbase has a number and you will cycle through these in order. There are (if I recall correctly, 21 airbases). To cycle to a specific airbase, you have to count each cycle you make until you get to the number corresponding to that airbase. For example, if the return point was set to Kerch (number 7) and you want to set it to Kershones (number 1), you have to cycle and count from 7 to 21 and then the next airbase will be Kershones. To help you find airbase numbers, you can use the excellent kneepad maps from 121st_Lys; find them at LockOn Files. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
