When I enter coordinates acquired from F10 map the resulting waypoint is inaccurate.

Track included. Am I doing something wrong?

Air start with no time passed to introduce any drift.


It doesn't seem to be map dependent. I get the same result on caucasus and syria.

edit:

Uploaded another one on the syria map. Same result(essentially).

double edit:

Did the same with the viper on syria, same mission. Dead on.

Haven‘t watched your tracks, but the most likely error would be, that you enter the coordinates in the wrong format. Lat/Long coordinates can be degrees minutes seconds or degrees minutes decimal minutes. And then there are even more precise versions of both formats with decimal seconds or more digits of the decimal minutes respectively.
Recheck if you are using the correct format. The Hornet can handle all of these formats if you select them accordingly. 

Another error might be that you forgot to also enter the elevation of the desired target.

Watched track and can confirm what Phantom711 said.  You need to enter the LL DECIMAL version (1 down from what you entered) or change the LL format in the F-18 settings.

So same as I'm entering for the viper? Thanks. Will try when I get home.
