Getting Co-Ords into the Jet Quickly

[C3PO]

I might have missed it, but is there a quick way in-sim to get target co-ordinated into the Viper without the laborious inputting of numbers via the ICP? Hoping to have some quick mechanism from the map view.

No, there is no ingame variant right now except typing the coordinates manually.

The DTC function is being worked on but of course no estimate as to when it arrives.

Thanks - the manual inputting is a real PITA.

there are a few apps to allow a faster manual input. For example:

and (specially if you a VR user):

(pardon the plug)

This is superb - works like a charm, thank you.

My pleasure, but it was not only my work.. I put some code in, but my main role there was to integrate the code of several others, dully credited in the readme

Out of interest, is there any CPU hit with it?

Not a single one

Scratchpad is to DCS what a dishwasher is to the kitchen. Indispensable.

If you fly VR, look into OpenKneeboard as well...

Is there also a function in-game that puts the box of data points from the f10 map onto the screen while flying?

Did it once buy can't remember the key combo to bring it back.

In conjunction with the scratchpad tool here is an app called DCS-DTC that will do all the work for you.  It will input coords that you grab from the F10 map using the capture function of it.  You can setup your MFDs, countermeasures, bingo, tacan, ils, and much more.  Setup everything and press load and it will set everything up for you without you doing any work after starting up.

Apologies, completely forgotten the format to assign co-ords etc to a waypoint in scratchpad in the map view .... there was some characters IIRC beforehand to make it specific to a SP/WP?

Varies according to the plane. Check the readme
