Remind me pls: How to create persistent Mission steerpoints

[Bahger]

I'm not looking to make a flightplan in the CDU from known coordinates; there's already an excellent thread on that.

 

I'm a little rusty and need to re-learn how to do the following:

 

Having copied coordinates for two mission steerpoints in the ME map (both bridges), I want to name them, and input them in the ME in such a way that the player can call them up in the CDU and they will show up in the TAD/HUD, not as flightplan waypoints but as steerpoints when the Steer Pt rotary is switched to "Mission".

 

I'm 95% sure this is doable, and not too difficult, but can someone save me from too much trial-and-error? many thanks.

Add a nav point/IP in the ME. The same function used to set IPs for AI JTAC.

Ok, I think I know where your going...

 

After selecting the Mission setting on the Steer Pt dial....

 

1. Right selection Keys , third one down to create new waypoint ( starts with a question mark ?x and x is the next wpt number in sequence.

 

2. Select co-ordinate input method on Right Selection Key 4 , either L/L or UTM

 

3. Enter co-ords in scratchpad as per your preference above then press Left Selection Key 4

 

4. Name waypoint by typing in a name then press Right Selection Key 1

 

5. Set HUD as SOI and select the waypoint you have just created.

 

Sorry for the non technical explanation. I'm married.

That creates a custom point when ingame.

ME = Mission Editor and gives you a point that is already in the avionics when loading the sim.

 

Edit: You can look it up on page 180 of the DCS GUI Manual (not the flight manual)
