James Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 This time its do with UTM coordinates... or why I'm so bad at entering them lol. For example today I created a mission with JTAC and thought I'd use the UTM coordinates to the find my target. However once I had entered the coordinates and change from flight plan to mission I discovered the coordinates I had entered where for the end of the runway I had just taken off from... I've followed several guides and watched a fair few video's however I've had little success Im very confident my procedure is all correct, and I'm aware there is a glitch with the coordinates but Im not sure if any of that is effecting it. The coordinates im entering are GG130134 are these okay to enter? Just to make sure I've not missed out any major steps change the coordinate type from L / L to UTM entered my coordinates Hit the OSB (Can't think of the number) with the ? next to it. seen the coordinates at the top right of the MCFD given my coordinates a unquie name and then changed on the AAP pannel from Flight Plan to Mission. Any help would be amazing thanks :)

Sarge55 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 The LSK with the ? is for selecting the next waypoint number. When you enter the coordinates you select the LSK on the bottom left IIRC (I'm at work). 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 10700K OC 5.1GHZ / 500GB SSD & 1TB M:2 & 4TB HDD / MSI Gaming MB / GTX 1080 / 32GB RAM / Win 10 / TrackIR 4 Pro / CH Pedals / TM Warthog
WarriorX Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Hi James! Welcome to the Forums, and the Warthog. I put together this tutorial for entering UTM coordinates into the CDU to create a new waypoint for a JTAC target. The link is in my sig, or here is the direct link: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1126958&postcount=4 I think you should create the new waypoint (MFCD OSB 9) before entering the UTM coordinate. This may be your problem. Let me know if you need any more help, I will be glad to lend a hand. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"
