Noob question - f15 waypoints

[braden]

Hello,

the manual says the selected waypoint appears down the bottom right whilst in Nav Mode. My question is:

 

Who is selecting this waypoint, us (and therefore - how?) or the aircraft does it automatically?

 

I noticed after takeoff it says waypoint 2..but switching to a combat mode and back to nav...the waypoint is set to 1

 

thanks

To toggle trough the waypoints press Ctrl - ` (or which button you have before 1). You have to be in nav mode to change wp. When you get to the waypoint, the nav goes automatically to the next wp.

Button 1 changes not only to nav, but also to ils (press second time), maybe that is why you had troubles.

Also when you reach the current waypoint the aircraft will automatically select the next one (if in nav mode).

I need a little help, I'm new at this and trying to make a simple Nav Mission using the A-10. All I want to do is take off from a Airbase, Nav a few way point (4-5) and fly on to another airbase and land. I would like for this mission to be flown at dusk but not to dark to begin with. Is there any beginners guide to setting up a mission from scratch because I can't figure out how to do it in the Editor for FC2. Thanks TC

@toocool,

 

google it, you may find something. And for that "airport" matter, just place your waypoint over it, and in "Action" field select "Land" mode for the a/p on which you want to land. From t/o airpost, set "Take-Off". Cheers.. :smartass::smilewink: :pilotfly:
