Setting a waypoint on TADS after recieving Co-Ords?

[CarneyUK]

Hi All,

 

Since flying with VJS161_Fire online when he was acting as AFAC and he got me to add a waypoint so that I could find the target, I have not been able to replicate this. Just wonderd if anyone could let me know again how it was done i.e.

 

AAP PAge dial = select waypoint

CDU = input northings and eastings

AAP Steer PT dial = select Flt Plan etc etc

 

I have been trying to do this as per page 454, 455 of the manual but for some reason it won't work! When I was online I had a waypoint appear on my TADS after putting in the co-ords that Fire had told me via 'Chat' and all I had to do was slew sensors to the waypoint and hey presto, multiple targets. It appeared on my TADS along with the other waypoints aswell.

 

When I was flying with VJS161_Fire as AFAC it seemed so easy.

 

Thanks in advance.

Here is a simple explanation of the method i use...adding coordinates and converting them into a waypoint.

 

There are also other in depth ways in the same thread...

Nice one, will try it tonight......I am sure though there was an even easier way? or at least it seemed like it when I did it with VJS161_Fire??

Create waypoint, then add that waypoint to your flight plan, so you can keep your mission waypoints and don't need to change AAP dial.

Thanks gent's. Have managed to get the waypoint on the TADS, but had to get back to work so didn't get time to add it to the flightplan. Will try that tonight!
