nadir help

Is there a way to have nadir tell you bearing and RANGE to way point. For example I want to setup a waypoint to a target, but I want to stop 4km from it so I don't get killed.

I know you can setup bearing and TIME, but this seems rather less useful.

On the compass, the arrow indicates direction and on top right distance in KMs (in this image the aircraft is off so they are labeled.)

Aha. Thanks.

Here's a labelled version, in case it helps.

Another thing I do is plan a waypoint with the F10 range tool which I know is 4km from the target area. That way I can plan ahead for good terrain/cover from where I can launch the attack.

Yup I use the F10 map for that as well. Or target coordinates if I have them for the final attack, I then stop at some distance from the WP and scan for the target.

Also do you know if there is a way to make current aircraft position a waypoint? I.e. starting airfield. it would be useful flying online.

P.P. Mode is for your current position, so before leaving make sure to make a WP with those coordinates or having them write down.

Harlikwin , as i understand you want to make your present position a waypoint.

If i remember well follow that on your nadir :

POS FIX

DES

1 ( if you want to set it as waypoint 1 , or another number )

ENTER

i hope my memory is good i still have my QRH home , i will check if it doesn't works , tell me if it works

:thumbup:

you are right , i'm rusted , the POS FIX is to calibrate the NADIR after it "drift"
