Steepoints and Bullseye Oh my ...

[speed-of-heat]

I am sure i am being dense, i am flying a mission, and i am given a ground target as a Bullseye Reference, how can I take that Bullseye reference and convert it to a steerpoint, at the moment I'm sort of eyeballing it on the HSD?

Theoretically you could enable VIP-TO-PUP for the bullseye steerpoint, input bearing and distance, select that steerpoint, then TMS-right (I think) to snap to the offset.

The catch is, I don't know how high the range units go in the VIPCCRP system. They may max out at 99.9nm. But then you could get creative, make a markpoint at its max, then daisy chain a bunch of offsets until you get to the location you want.

or you take the AG radar, slew the cursor over until the bullseye location of the cursor matches the bullseye location you are supposed to find and create a FCR Markpoint off of it..

There is one way, you could use FCR and Markpoints. Anyway, to make it simplier, check my track how it can be done.

TMP UP for designating the mark point.

Yes thanks for this, you can also do this from the HSD with an overfly markpoint

Nearly forgot the Viper's AG radar even existed. The thing is usually absolutely usless with its sh*t resolution for ground mapping. Finding movers with GMT is all I really use it for. Of course FCR/HSD methods only work if your brain can interpret where the bullseye coord is in relation to your current bullseye. Otherwise it's throwing punches in the dark.
