Getting an AI unit to scout/report and give coordinates?


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

Sorry for using this forum, but i am not getting a reply in the mission editing forum.

 

How do i make an AI Unit report a contact and give MGRS coordinates to enter into the CDU?

 

Thanx

Thanx JuJu. Worked like a charm.

 

However thats for JTAC, and i was hoping to make something like this video. An F-16 starts giving info at 2:20. I would be happy with an MGRS coordinate though rather than bullseye, but happy either way.

Thanx again.

When you contact JTAC/FAC/AFAC they will give you co-ordinates that you can enter into the CDU.

 

For further reading own this subject I suggest that you download the DcS A10c Graphical User Interface Guide, it covers in great depth on how to use the Mission Editor.

If the pilot is calling out a bullseye position you can easily slew the TAD cursor to the position and obtain the co-ordinates or place a Mark point on the TAD.

 

I have not had time to see the video example you refer too.

 

If you want to create that, the mission editor advanced waypoint options is where the magic is.

Yes I know that and again thanks. But that f-16 is reporting on its own without any contact from the pilot first. That's what I'm looking for.

Likely only through using triggers/zones, and even then, you'd either have to use a text descriptor with previously setup coordinates, or custom sound file with same.
