Quick JTAC Question

[Newt]

Hey all,

 

I was playing the main campaign and flying the second mission. Everything was going well until my third JTAC UTM coordinates are given to me.

 

After putting in the coordinates and choosing that as my steer point (like I always do) I found that it was miles away from the target zone in a completely different grid.

 

Was this an error or a JTAC from a different area all together? I didn't follow it since it was so far away, it just seemed off. I did abort and try again with the same results. The first set of targets were all in the target grid (I forget the coordinates now, but something like HM or idk). The new one was way off in K something, seemingly out at sea.

 

I do think I called in on the second JTAC since the first one said that they didn't need me anymore but I knew that there were still tanks on the ground. But, I thought the 2nd JTAC was in the area too. I don't know why there would have been a second JTAC so far away.

 

Sorry, this got lengthy. Bottom line is, has anyone had an error of JTAC giving targets way out of the way?

 

Thanks.

Did you check that it was in the same zone? The map has two different ones. 37T and 38T IIRC.

 

IIRC it's the line above the UTM input line you can change the zone.

I did not think of that. I'll check that out when i have the time. Thanks for your idea!

Here's a map of the zones, the black line divides them.

Ah, thanks! After looking at that I think the problem may have been the zone issue. That would make sense.
