SickSidewinder9 Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 No, I didn't attach a track. Jump into a mission like Foothold or Pretense or TTI. Something with a few dozen preset waypoints. Assign the appropriate waypoint as Bullseye if available or 1 higher than all the preset ones if possible. Now look at waypoint 25. Yup. IIRC, this bug has been around a long while. It's not usually a big deal, because by chance, wp25 will likely not be your task, statistically, but sometimes it is, and then you realize its lat/long is wrong. TIA
ED Team Lord Vader Posted October 6, 2023 ED Team Posted October 6, 2023 Hi @SickSidewinder9 Please create a small track with what you're doing and we'll have a look. Thanks. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
SickSidewinder9 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 Set the BE to anything but 25. No track needed. I wonder if IRL, the BE is always 25. That's fine if waypoints can be set with various routes and all in various number ranges, but right now, that's not a thing, really. I suppose if I add waypoints 21 through 24 in game, it will create a route for those separate from 1 through 20, right? And then 26 through 28 are markpoints in game, and data points are 500s. However as of now, with the way the mission editor is, steerpoints just get added 1 and up so there is no reservation for BE or Markpoints or alt routes, divert fields, etc. Right now, if there are at least 25 waypoints from the editor, 25 gets over ridden no matter what, and assigning mark points will overwrite existing waypoints if they are 26 through 28 (is that the right number)? Maybe the editor will be updated to reserve those numbers, although that would cause confuse with people flying other jets. Another solution would just be to "gameism" the steerpoints and not necessarily reserve/overwrite certain numbers, or even make it optional in the editor for a given mission. This would make certain missions like Foothold or TTI look cleaner on the HSD and HAD. Not really sure what you need a track for. you got a whole video of freeze not working on the radar and didn't bother to look at it. Not very helpful.
