Mik75 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hi there! I´m just learning the Viggen, and it´s really some very good fun! But I have one question. If I select an airbase as LS on the F10 map and load the corresponding data cartridge through the kneeboard, I know how I can select the reciprocal runway through "Bana Gräns". But how can I select a whole different runway if the air base has more than these two? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Greets, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSE1234 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You can't. It's not coded to work like that in DCS, but it also doesn't matter for takeoff so... yeah It would be nice when landing though If you want one of the other runways you need to manually enter it on the data panel. The position of the waypoint will likely not be very accurate though, unless you change that too 1 1 Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

But ok, if it's not possible, it's not the end of the world either. Thx a lot for Our quick reply! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Greets, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type the heading, e.g. 2530 for 253.0° (you can forget about setting a TILS channel) .) Press LS Considering the runway was already entered (e.g. Ramat David), then this should work. If you have to use corrdinates for a runway for which no code (e.g. 9013) is available, you might use reference points or type in coordinates by hand via REF/LOLA.

This is what you need to do to use road bases as well, right? So I actually knew it... Thanks again! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Greets, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYSE1234 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Not if you're using an invisible FARP to "mark" it, then you have a reference code for it in the kneeboard. 1 Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

Mik75 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 I mark the road bases with 930x in the mission editor. They appear as 920x in the kneeboard (actual air bases), but it still works. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Greets, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
