The Waypoint system for missions

[Alphagamer1981]

Hello All, this is my first post here. I just moved over to DCS from IL-2 Stormavik and got myself a decent ww2 pack in the steam sales including the Spitfire, Channel map, bf-109 and I'm now learning the DCS way of flying the spit. So my question is about the waypoint system within the map/mission planning screen. When I take off, My plane has a line parented to waypoint 1, but when I reach it, the waypoints do not update and change to waypoint 2, 3 etc.. Now i know ww2 planes did not have a gps system or any kind of computer waypoint system within the cockpit, but I just need to know how you change/update the waypoints within the map screen. Clicking on the waypoint, highlights them and gives you information about them, but apart from that I can't seem to interact with them, and have to complete the whole mission while parented to waypoint one. 

Any help?

 

Regards

That waypoint implementation is rather useless. I have no idea on how it works. Seems different every time.
Bring up your kneeboard with K, lock with RShft + K, and browse the pages, (don't remember the keybind, until you see maps of various resolutions, (the correct English name escapes me). And then there's an unrealistic keybind to mark your current position.
Hopefully this helps!
Cheers!

there is no device in the real plane to interact with waypoints. you have a kneeboard with a map. you can view the kneeboard with shift+k. you can see your position on the map with ctrl+k(this method is what real ww2 pilots used back in the day)
