shafs64 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I have noticed since the 2.9 update that the waypoint navigation isn't working properly in the F16 i start with a fresh waypoint punch in the cords and it takes me to the wrong place. it works fine on the f18 but the f16 seems to be bugged now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearcat Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Not sure if you found how to fix this but I do remember that the F18 manual waypoints use a different co-ordinate type to the F16. I know from decades flying in a previous sim and also present in DCS: the F16 uses Lat/Long/decimal co-ordinates, the ones that look like N53.04.694 E47.34.886. The F18 (from memory here as not flown it in a while) uses a similar but different co-ordinates, N53.04.69 E47.34.88 Also entering the numbers with the F16 UCP I kept getting caught out by the "E0" routine where to get the East to enter you have to type "6" and "0" before entering the co-ordinates. Just check as to which co-ordinates you are using to enter you waypoints. Use "ALT y" when in the F10 map they should change through 4 different types at the top left of the screen. Hope it helps Edited November 30, 2023 by Mearcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buceador Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 You can also set the waypoints format in the MISC section- LAT LONG DECIMAL MINUTES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di_ Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Cant find this option. could you be more specific?. for instance I have target coords like - N33-00-53.74 E035-41-19.50 how can I use them? F10 map the only way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F10 map the only way? Top right corner of the OPTIONS / MISC screen will let you change the default. If you click to the left of the co-ordinates on the F10 map it will cycle between the options. What you are showing is DD MM SS.SS. I think what you need for the F-16 (but I haven't used it in a while so could be wrong) is DD MM.MMMM which will show up as N33.00.5374 E035.41.1950 (note that this co-ordinate is a different location to your original due to format even though the numbers are all the same). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
