I wish that we could change way points on a fly while on a server or in flight or pre flight.

On a server we always get the same way points that was given for the mission. But it would be fantastic if we could change this on pre-flight at base to change the path and with a coordination maybe with "Combined Arms"

To make the UTM coordinate into a waypoint do the following:

Find a safe area to do a wide orbit. Set your autopilot to ALT and then make a left or right banking level turn and hold it. Then engage the autopilot and ensure it is holding the turn and you have no elevation conflicts around you.

The UTM coordinates will be in the form of 2 letters and 6 numbers. Make sure your STEER PT switch on your AAP Panel is set to FLT PLAN. Set your right MFCD to the CDU repeater function.

*NOTE: If your CDU is not on the WAYPOINT PAGE, then hit the WP key on the CDU, or FUNC 3 on the UFC. This will bring up the page where you can choose to select WAYPOINT by hitting OSB 7. You should now be on the WAYPOINT PAGE and ready to continue.

Hit OSB 10 to switch from the default L/L (Lat/Long) to UTM.

Hit OSB 9 to select the number presented next to the question mark as your new waypoint.

Using the CDU or the UFC, enter the 2 letters, and 6 numbers without spaces in the scratchpad.

Hit OSB 16 to enter the UTM coordinate in to the computer.

Verify the number entered is correct.

Using the CDU or UFC keypad give your new waypoint a unique name eg: WP X and hit OSB 7 to change the name.

Now turn your STEER PT dial on the AAP from FLT PLAN to MISSION.

Use the UFC STEER rocker or with the HUD as SOI, DMS UP to cycle thru the waypoints until you see the unique name you created for this waypoint (WP X)

Find your waypoint symbol on the TAD and then use the steering cues on the HUD to fly to your new waypoint.

Thank you a good complex alternate solution while flying but it would be nice to do it on Pre-flight with my SU-25 for example mostly in a conflict zone and been a perfect target :) . This would ovoid problems and incertitude.
