Steel Jaw Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Following instructions on manual pp 447-450, I successfully enter new lat/lon into the CDU, they appear in the CDU under waypoints, but do not appear in the TAD and I cannot select them as steerpoints. What am I doing wrong please? Thanx!

skypirate Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Just on top of my head - perhaps you need to include the new WP in a flight plan. What I do - second flight plan which holds all new waypoints of interest. Depending of my needs I switch between the new and old one. You can also add the new WP to the old FP. Then it should appear on the TAD. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Regards!
shagrat Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 You have to switch the Steer PT Dial to MISSION.:book: It's because the WP you created is not part of your active Flight plan.

SmokeyTheLung Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 *sorry for the hijack* Does anyone know how to drop a mark point with the TAD cursor? Is there a hotas command? Or do I have to get the coordinates and input manually? System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
