Bulleye

Can you make your own bullseye on on map when flying thank you for help.:joystick:

You can create watpoints but you can not create or move bullseye. It defeats its purpose.

Ok i knew about waypoints and that just wasent sure about the bullseye! thank you for the reply.:thumbup:

Yes, it is a feature of the CDU waypoint page - only there it is called: ANCHOR PT

See manual around page 242 :smartass:

The bullseye can be changed, but only before the mission in the mission editor, the bullseye is a universal reference point that all units use to navigate covertly, changing its location during the mission is impossible and pointless, you can however change the anchor point as shagrat pointed out, bullseye is the default anchor point

Changing bullseye position isn't necessarily pointless. I would imagine in real life operations it will change quite often so the enemy cannot get a hold of the information. Pure speculation on my part, though.

Bullseye woulndt be changed mid mission because you would be broadcasting the new bullseye coordinates that the enemy could intercept. bullseye is not an absolute position, it changes mission to mission. when using bullseye you never say a locations coordinates, only its bearing and distance from the bullseye, if the enemy doesnt know where the bullseye is, they wont know the location you are being referred to.

Of course not mid-mission. I thought someone had mentioned that it was stupid to change it at all...

I think it was mentioned in "a10s over Kosovo" that the bullseye can change mid mission...

 

Anyways I'm all new to bullseye references and was wondering if there's a quick method to immediately knowing the location of the bullseye call, or does one must enter it into the offset screen everytime?

 

Is there a map where the cursor gives reference and distance from bullseye etc?

 

How do you guys all do it?

 

Thanks!

Myself, I just take a look at it in briefing, then figure how far out, and on what

radial I will be operating in.

 

Once I have that number, say compass 100 at 35 miles, Anything higher and in

that direction, I start peering around outside, and on the RWR gauge.

 

When I hear "merged," i generally panic...

 

:D

The TAD cursor can give you the distance and radial from bullseye. It's on the top left side of the screen.

Not a direct answer to the OP's question but you can also go into your waypoint cdu page, goto anchor point and turn on bulls eye on hud. IIRC in on the bottom left side of the anchor page. This gives you your bulls eye direction and distance in the top right of your hud, quick glance tells you where you are in relation to bulls.
