[NOTREPRODUCE] Can't enter Waypoints via F10 Map

[Ditch3r]

I can't seem to get any waypoints entered via the F10 map to take on DTC update since the recent patch.  PP and RP still work fine, but since the addition of the Flight Plan B feature I can't get Waypoints to work.  Was there a change to this that wasn't documented? 
In the map marker I have tried a bunch of different options, and none have worked. 
I have tried "WPT1", "WPT01","WP1","WP01","FPA1","FPA01","WPT01A", along with about ever other combination you can think of.  I also tried the same with B substituted with no luck.
I've also tried on Kola, Syria, and Caucasus with no success, so I don't think it's a map issue.

I have tried a DCS repair, and reinstalled the JF-17, with no luck.

Is anyone else having this issue? 

Edit:
Forgot to mention, I've tried Cold and Hot Starts, neither are working.

I'm not able to input waypoints either. 
Seems like a Deka issue

we haven't decided criteria yet (i.e. if f10 wpt, clean all existing and use f10 only or merge them etc). more situation we think the more complicated it becomes. so f10 wpt is not turned on yet but pre-planned only.

Thanks for the reply.  I hope you get it figured out, it's a very nice feature to have.

Is there a way to keep Plan A and B completely independent both in ME, module and F10?

E.g. it looks like you sort of workaround this to share the same space, due to the ME limitations.

Could we have a solution like in AJS-37 module where you can either load mission cartridge or F10 map cartridge? You switch it with a hotkey in the kneepad.

just use wpt1-18 for plan A, and wpt19-36 as B. In F10, just use the timestamps, and anything entered after FP-B gets to be part of FP-B.

Put known stuff like this in the changelog next time please. So people don’t screw around confused and think they are stupid.

In the case you have suggested under current rules in ME you would need to have at minimum 19 waypoints to have FP-B, This comes from DCS not from Deka. Your suggestion would work for F-10 maps I think.

Sorry to be that stup... can someone clarify if we can still add waypoints for a route navigation through F10 marcs?
What is the problem with Deka about creating an oficial manual and updated every time they change something like this!

Currently we can't. This is temporary until they decide how to implement it.

[Bigity]

When will this be fixed?

 

EDIT: It seems the route tool works, but that won't help if you land/rearm for another sortie without reslotting.

I haven't tested yet, but according to the patchnotes it should work now.

Relevant part of the changelog:

Quote

Added. F10 label to add FPA/FPB waypoints

• Label name: “FPA*”/”FPB*”, where * denotes the channel index (1-29)
• FPA has higher priority than FPB, thus processed ahead of FPB labels
  • If there’s FPA12 label, then all FPB labels with index smaller than 13 will be ignored
• Existing flight plan has higher priority than newly placed F10 labels
  • If nav system already has FPB with channel starting from 15, any F10 FPA label with index greater than 14 will be ignored.

Ah missed this in notes as I didn’t have the module yet.  I’ll test tomorrow and report back.

The FPA/FPB thing works just fine.  Thanks Deka!
