missing info Next/Previous waypoint bugged?

[virgo47]

In hot started aircraft, the Next waypoint shortcut does something at first, Previous waypoint does not do anything. But after I select any of the modes available in the plain (1, 2, 4 and 7 keys by default), neither of the Next/Previous waypoint shortcuts work anymore.

In the FF F-5E3, there are no programmable waypoints ...only compass/HSI and timepiece.

I know, I own it. Waypoints in FC planes are simplified based on the mission editor, you can't do anything about them in the plane itself whatever the plane can do in real life. Next waypoint obviously does something and the HSI reacts. So I just reported the current experience and inconsistency of the behavior.

I noticed this too. Only with next waypoint button.

Found hilarious that the FC F-5 gets a INS while the full one has to keep playing with TACAN and so

That's exactly what you get - standard (simplified) systems modeling.

I think the point was that the FC version is technically superior due to the INS...

Unless you want to navigate to a TACAN or drop LGBs.. or drop bombs individually

Hey @virgo47, if you're still seeing an issue, please provide a DCS track.

[virgo47]

The track is attached, here is a video from it:

This time I started in the air and the first "mode" was something like a landing mode - next waypoint cycled through many points, I assume the aerodromes.

After (1) Navigation mode change, I could cycle only between WPs 0 (behind me), 1 and 2 (shown in the map at the start of the video).

There is no function for Previous waypoint.

There is no way to change mode further, it will stay stuck in this WP mode.

Again, I have no idea what the intention was, it's a strange version of FC navigation (with broken modes cycle and previous waypoint). If it was intended, the Previous waypoint binding should be fixed, and the modes should be able to cycle between aerodromes and WPs. That would be nice. But how to indicate it? Or should there be no navigation at all?
