not planned keybinds for next and previous waypoint

[jojojung]

Hallo,

IRL the CPG would change waypoints in flight. This is not possible at the moment with the AI CPG.
Please ad a shortcut keybinding for cycling between the waypoints. 
This would work great even with voice attack to give the cpg the command to switch to the next waypoint.
The need to do the whole click race in the mfds with RTE etc. is too much while flying. 
Thx!

The navigation automatically switches to the next waypoint in the route sequence without aircrew interaction.

[jojojung]

Yeah but thats not enough. You need to go from WP 1 to 4 without clicking hundert buttons. IRL the CPG would do this work but our CPG is really limited...

It's only a few button pushes from the front or back.

[jojojung]

Yeah I know. The answers are not pointed to my point. I know how to fly the apache. 
Dont get me wrong but you need to take the hands of the controls or not?
IRL the CPG would do the work or is this wrong?
So please make the AI capable to do this or simply create a new keybind for that.

Yes, you have to take a hand off either the cyclic or collective to reach up and manipulate the MPDs.  In the sim, this probably means manipulating the mouse to click buttons in the cockpit.  My recommendation would be to trim the aircraft and fly for a moment with your left hand, assuming you use your right hand on the mouse.

I would hazard to guess that IRL the pilot would often reach up and do this themselves.  I can think of many other things that the PLT has to do for themselves while flying, and can't ask the CPG to do for them, like panning around on the TSD, or setting your ACQ, or changing the radio you want to transmit over, so selecting a new WP as your DIR shouldn't be a big deal.

Technically you don't need to take your hands off the cyclic or collective to change the direct-to, as the bezel options on the TSD are cursor-actionable.

Was just about to say this and deleted my comment.

Ok that is possible but a little bit awkward. But why are you so much against giving George some more love? Or do some shortcuts to get things done in the first place which are done by the cpg when the pilot is flying the aircraft.
No one will have any disadvantages, so everything is fine, right?
When nobody whats this, ok. But this is a wish list thread so I dont see the need for resistance for this feature.

The Apache is in Early Access and probably will be for the next 5 years looking at the history of other EA modules. Maybe in the future the CPG AI will be able to do this. If they ever provided a roadmap we would know that answer. There is already requests of the CPG doing a ton of other stuff that has a higher priority, especially if you can do it yourself very easily. 

But you asked for a keybind to cycle through and select waypoints that does not exist. This is a "simulation" to be as close to a 1:1 AH-64D.

I just say "Direct to Waypoint 3" and Voice Attack does all the work in less than a second.

Do yourself a favor and spend the $10 and get Voice Attack.

You can even make the command "George, set a course for Waypoint Three" if it makes you feel better about the CPG doing all the work

Things I can do by voice...
