CDU/TAD copy function

[Stuka]

New in the Hog from DCS version 2.8.7.42583 is the posibility to copy markpoints to existing waypoints. ("Copy Feature for UFC and CDU" in the change log)

Until today, whenever you had a markpoint displayed on the CDU or hooked on the TAD, you could press the OSB 9, labelled "?x" on the CDU or OSB 17, lablled  "x?" on the TAD to create a new waypoint with the nr x

From this path, before pressing the OSB, you can enter an existing waypoint number or name on the scratchpad.  
Result will be that the corresponding waypoint will be overwritten with the data from the markpoint you had on the CDU or hooked on the TAD.

Practical example:
You have a waypoint 8, called TGT.  
in the target area, after you attacked TGT, you spot another target.  
With any sensor available to you, you create a markpoint on that new target.
After that, perform one of the following actions:

• On the CDU (repeater): enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 9, labelled "?x"
• On the TAD: Hook the markpoint you just created, enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 17, labelled "x?"

Both actions will result in waypoint 8/TGT been overwritten with the data from the markpoint on the new target.

It's not a huge gamechanger, but it's a handy little tool.
