Creating Flight Plans in MP?

[SharpeXB]

Any plans to add the ability to create flight plans in Multiplayer? For the player and using the F10 map or some interface besides the ME which isn’t accessible from that role?

That feature already exists. ED introduced the Route Tool for the F10 map a while ago, which is available in Multiplayer too and can be accessed from the F10 map (tool bar at the top of the screen, left most button).

Wait...i can create a flightplan on the F10 map and it will show up in the jets (F-16 f.e.) avionics as waypoints???

Fantastic! I’ll give it a try.

The only problem with the waypoint tool is that you can't change it without re-planing. Soooo.... it's kinda limited.

For the time being, I'm still using the DCS DTC app/mod. for the F-16.... just to set up steerpoints, comms, and now CMDS.

I think the "official" DTC has tons of potential, but for MP servers, it's still pretty clunky.

The JF-17 can do it, as well as creating markpoints for GPS targets and waypoints. Can't see a reason why it cannot be added for the F-16 and F/A-18
