dave76 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 guys, if i press icp 4 stpt page, then SEQ, it should display mgrs after 3 sec but nothing happens. conversely if i select on icp, list 1 dest, enter mgrs and convert it function ok and then i have stpt in lat/long on stpt page any clue? thanks
Tholozor Posted March 31 Posted March 31 MGRS coordinates can only be used on steerpoints 21 through 25. 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
Mapi Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (steerpoints 1-25) > steerpoints 1-20 (auto) > steerpoints 21-25 (only man) can also be displayed in MGRS format Active Navigation Route (white line) steerpoints 1-25. >>> The Bullseye point is normally set to Steerpoint 25, but can be set to a different steerpoint on the BULL DED page. > Steerpoints 26-30 are reserved as markpoints Each subsequent markpoint that is stored will overwrite steerpoints 26-30 in a cyclic fashion. 1
dave76 Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 ok, sounds fine to me but i read this at pag 109 in the manual, i tried and found does not work pushing SEQ..... If the steerpoint already contains Lat/Long coordinates, the STPT page can be toggled to display the equivalent MGRS location by pressing the DCS (“Dobber” switch) to the SEQ position. After a 3-second delay, the MGRS coordinates will be shown. The DED will display the MGRS Grid, Square, and Easting/Northing values, as well as the steerpoint elevation. If a steerpoint is to be entered using MGRS, the STPT page must first be toggled to MGRS format using the DCS SEQ position, the MGRS coordinates entered, and then a conversion must be manually commanded by selecting the CNVRT data field and pressing ENTR. If CNVRT is not commanded before the STPT page is toggled back to Lat/Long format, the conversion will not occur, the MGRS coordinates that were entered will not be stored for that steerpoint, and the Lat/Long coordinates will not correctly correspond with the MGRS location. The Time-Over-Steerpoint (TOS) and elevation (ELEV) data fields are not required to contain valid data for the conversion to occur. However, elevation can be entered on either format of the STPT page. The following page illustrates the entire process for entering a location via MGRS into steerpoints 21-25. STPT Page Lat/Long format (Left) and MGRS format (Right) (

Check the DCS F-16C Early Access manual (pages 200, 208-211) or Chuck's Guide (p. 701-702). Not sure what manual are you using, but check ED's and Chuck's and the MGRS thing is clear: It's available on steerpoints 21-25.
