wiewla Posted April 1 Posted April 1 (edited) When creating UTM STPT - by DEST menu, after entering East/North numbers, at the moment of pressing CVNRT it drops the north value by 1 digit. (This situation can be seen fe. in this movie (13:07) . but i got the same effect every time also in other scenarios) In this example it changes the ending from 40 to 39, to save it at point with 40 at the end you need to write 41. The effect is that saved STPT is always slightly (south i guess) off the target and need to be corrected by hand. Edited April 1 by wiewla 2
wiewla Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 The same thing is visable in the manual. If the values represent geographical position with 1 meter precision, changing the value after pressing CNVRT create a 1m offset to the target. DEST.trk
Nealius Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I've seen this happen in most, if not all ED modules. The Warthog's and Apache's CDU does the same thing. I believe I've also seen it happen with GPS coordinates, not just with UTM.
itn Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I wouldn't be surprised if this issue is similar to the feet/metric conversion/rounding logic issue I reported in Mission Editor a while back (and which was then fixed). Basically an error in rounding logic when converting between internal metric representation and others. In the Mission Editor it was about feet/metric conversion, but this might be similar. 1
