C3PO Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 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?

razo+r Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 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.
C3PO Posted December 25, 2023 Author Posted December 25, 2023 Thanks - the manual inputting is a real PITA.

Solution Draken35 Posted December 25, 2023 Solution Posted December 25, 2023 there are a few apps to allow a faster manual input. For example: https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay and (specially if you a VR user): (pardon the plug) 2

Keith Briscoe Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 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. 1

Hoping to have some quick mechanism from the map view. 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. https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/releases 1 My PC: GPU-AMD 6800XT OC / CPU- AMD RYZEN 5800X OC / 32 GB RAM 3200Mhz / 1TB SSD / 2TB HDD / 500GB M.2 / Monitor: 34" Ultrawide Samsung 1000R Curve / WinWing F16EX HOTAS / TM Cougar MFDs / TM TPR Rudder Pedals / TrackIR5 / ICP
