JTAC reports wrong coordinates

[Supernova-III]

Hi there! I started playing with JTAC and immediately faced with an issue.

JTAC reports me wrong coordinates during the 9-line interaction. It should point me at group 18, which is something around WE0252905432. But it keeps pointing me somewhere over the sea: WE028xxxxx... No matter what unit I use, airborne or land, it keeps pointing me at the sea.

 

Side quest: in the track, after it reports me wrong coordinates, I'm trying to find the target myself with the targeting pod. I'm creating a markpoint, but when I'm trying to use it (weapon designate), it points me to different location (looks like near the WP1). What is wrong with that?

checked your track and the coordinates reported by JTAC are correct. WE02530543.

Try a slow repair, maybe a file broken.

Your uploaded Mission is missing a JTAC.

Repaired, deleted all mods. Recreated mission from scratch. Still reports me BS. Should report around WE0355904338

ok, see your problem. 

Your first entry in the Advanced (Waypoint Actions) table is FAC -a. This is an enroute Task where the FAC looks freely for targets and he has chosen the target  with above coordinates.

Your FAC - Assign Group("Ground 1 ") command is number 5 in the list.

If you want the FAC only assign the "Ground 1" you have to delete the first entry, the FAC -a

@buurthis becomes disappointing...

• There are no any targets on coordinates the JTAC reports, it's over the sea
• In the first post I said that coordinates must be around WE025..., and it as a mistake. Assigned target is located a the training range around WE035
• If I remove FAC -a, I cannot talk to JTAC on radio

 

UPD: solved. I removed FAC -a, added FAC - assign group before the orbiting task and it seems reporting right thing. Thank you for support!

@Supernova-III Just FYI, whenever you see a task that has "-a" suffix, that means it has been assigned to one of the prior waypoints and is inherited. So if you assign new task "X" on WP6 and you already see task "X -a" go to the prior waypoints and see if should remain here or not.

on the given coordinate are a lot of troops. Please see attached picture null

Your assigned taget position is on MGRS GRID: 36 S WE 03528 04281. See next attached picture 

You can reach FAC -a on 133 MHz Am.  The assigen Group FAC is on 257 MHz. Delete FAC -a and adjust radio frequency

@Supernova-III one additional point: Your orbit task blocks the AFAC task. You have to delete it for work.
This is a working configuration: null

@Supernova-III
I'm not an F-18 user, but the coordinates the JTAC passed (WE02530543) in the format 8 digit, in an avionic that work with 10 digit, should be entered as WE 02530 05430 not as WE0002530543
