FoxTrotAlpha691 Posted August 31 Posted August 31 (edited) *Moved here from general discussion forum. I am having trouble entering manual coordinates into the DST specifically entering new airfield coordinates into data field 59. When I enter the N coordinates and press the left arrow key the numbers disappear instead of being entered and then allowing me to select the N setting. Not sure what I am doing wrong I have done this in the past and it seemed pretty straight forward. Any assistance is appreciated. DST ISSUE.mp4 Edited September 20 by uboats
Napillo Posted August 31 Posted August 31 Yea, I think its because you can't set the north/south. I recommend a workaround, which is copy/paste a different one (say 58) and then adjust. 1
tekwoj Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Can confirm it's bugged. If you clear the point 59 first then you can't enter anything. Workaround is either not clearing it before or if you did then do what Napillo wrote. 1
FoxTrotAlpha691 Posted September 1 Author Posted September 1 Much appreciated @Napillo and @tekwoj I knew I remembered being able to do this with no issue in the past. Will give it a try later today.

FoxTrotAlpha691 Posted September 2 Author Posted September 2 Ok the workaround did not resolve my issue. It allows me to enter the coordinates but when I select waypoint 59 the aircraft still points to the original location for data position 59. When I enter the aircraft that position has data in it, I hit the key next to the coordinate and enter the new data but as I said before it still points to the old location. Clearing that data position out and entering new data causes the coordinates to disappear completely as shown in my video. So no joy at this point.
uboats Posted September 12 Posted September 12 I can not reproduce it, but @JG54_NF2 please help take a look [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn |
tekwoj Posted September 12 Posted September 12 test_dst.mizdst59 bug.trk @uboats here's an example mission and track attached showing bug. Steps to reproduce (did it in hot start, didn't test if it happens during cold start): 1. Load the cartridge in, load at least the Nav data. 2. Select WPT 59 3. Press DST 4. On the left MFD make sure that waypoint 59 is selected. Press CLR. 5. Enter a valid value for latitude 6. Press button to confirm the value, it will remove the value but not save it. 7. Try the same for other waypoint parameters, the result is same as for latitude. 1

The data is erased and not saved when attempting to enter latitude, also if I copy an already entered set of coordinates into an empty position 59, I am then able to enter a full set of coordinates however the aircraft will continue to point at the original coordinates and not the newly entered ones.

It's probably an oversight by the original author, I'll go and fix it. @uboats 1
