nickos86 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi, The mission editor got the INITIAL POINT feature. It sure helps the A10/K50. Does it do anything for the F/A-18C? F-16? Couldn't find any use so far... ED - any plans fir the future? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 You’ll need to manually input the IP coordinates into an open waypoint. With an IP specified in a mission, an AI JTAC or FAC(A) will read you lines 1 through 3 from a 9-Line referencing the IP placed in the mission editor. If you have the same point input into your system, you’ll now have a bearing and distance from the IP to the target to help with target ID and attack.

Creepy, I'm assuming this would be a good case for use of OFFSET Waypoint function IRL. Then designate on the offset. Would this be true? Has data-link and the CAS page replaced much of the need for the voice 9-line?...I'm guessing not fully. The old fashioned way being the basis of everything and a quicker no-nonsense back up?
