WOPR Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Can someone explain what "Quicksteer function enabled" from the update news means? I can't find information on anything related to "quicksteer" in the pocket guide or NATOPS manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmirco Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) It means, you have to hold down the WP Increment HOTAS Buttton for more than 0.8 Secs. Now you can choose a Waypoint Type in the ODU (Waypoint, Markpoint or Target Waypoint) Type in a Number for the Waypoint you want to change an press ENT on UFC. Now you designated a Waypoint as a Markpoint, Target Waypoint or as a simple Waypoint. Comes with the next Update! I think the Updates Thread tells us when the Updates are ready not released.

Zeus67 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It means, you have to hold down the WP Increment HOTAS Buttton for more than 0.8 Secs. Now you can choose a Waypoint Type in the ODU (Waypoint, Markpoint or Target Waypoint) Type in a Number for the Waypoint you want to change an press ENT on UFC. Now you designated a Waypoint as a Markpoint, Target Waypoint or as a simple Waypoint. Comes with the next Update! I think the Updates Thread tells us when the Updates are ready not released. Actually it is a way to quickly select a waypoint/markpoint/targetpoint. By pressing the WP Increment HOTAS Buttton for more than 0.8 Secs you set the UFC to Quicksteer Action (QA). You then select which waypoint you want to use: Waypoint (Flighplan), Markpoint (saved position), Targetpoint (saved target position). You input a number on the UFC and click ENT. The steerpoint will change to the selected one. Waypoints: 1 to 60 Markpoints: 1 to 10 Targetpoints: 0 to 4 Targetpoints are not enabled yet, so there is only one: 0, which is your designated target. If you input a non-existing waypoint/markpoint/targetpoint number, nothing happens. It works like this: You are flying towards Waypoint 3 but due to tactical considerations you need to go direct route to Waypoint 17. Instead of clicking WP Increment 14 times, or advancing the waypoint in the MPCD. You press the WP Increment long enough for the UFC to enter QA mode, select WYPT and then enter 14 and click ENT. The aircraft will now start flying towards Waypoint 14.

Schmirco Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thx for clarification. It means we can change the type of a waypoint (waypoint, markpoint, targetpoint) and quick select a waypoint on UFC inflight, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmirco Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Quicksteer Function doesn't work for me, broken since last patch or still not implemented? Edited July 8, 2018 by Schmirco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
