AV8B Harrier Edit function

Open MadogPL opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

Could there be an option to not ADD new waypoints in Harrier ( now it goes: add waypoint->77->that creates realistically next waypoint) but EDIT/OVERRIDE them in order? It make a lot of confusion in combined flights when first waypoint of harrier flight is eight in a row :) (for example)

I'd gladly contribute for this feature to be available.

Harrier now has a bug: before u had to push Odu POS button to go on Lat or Lon coords. Now once u push enter, it automatically enters between Lat and Long. So before it put E or W or N or S, u have to push again Odu POS Button

I'm trying to recompile it to fix these problems and set that script as u asked but I'm having warning :(

Hallo! Indeed, after ENT it goes automatically for long. Isn't that "just" one less button hit to be scripted as it assumes it switched into E-W?

Hello, I reported this bug to 51st-Vfw FORK. It has no problems in that fork. Yep, that was just 1 less button to push

So, it it a bug, or a feature? Because right now WE does not work for Harrier (it types gibberish). Not sure how it suppose to be.

This version is bugged cuz it enters, automatically changes coords type (from Lon to Lat) when pressing enter, then the program repress to change coords type, so it bug the input. So, before update (maybe 2 months ago) Input 8 (N) or 2 (S), 00'00'00, ENTER Pess POS from ODU buttons to switch into Lon 4 (W) or 6 (E), 000'00'00, ENTER Pess POS from ODU buttons to switch into Lat

Actually: Input 8 (N) or 2 (S), 00'00'00, ENTER automatically switchea into Lon 4 (W) or 6 (E), 000'00'00, ENTER automatically switches into Lat

NOTE: For Lon coordinate, you need 7 numbers instead of 6 as Lat

NOTE: If you Press N or S while in Lon input, it stills blank, until u press the right one (W or E)

So, to answer you: this version of the application has the bug; the game has been updated, not bugged

DarKFeneR996 avatar Jan 16 '22 21:01 DarKFeneR996

Soooo... will there be an update of WE to new updated game?

And would it be possible to also edit, like suggested in my original topic, to edit the waypoint, not add them?

To edit instead of create new, is already possible, in game manually and with the program. But this one is stuck without any update

may I ask how with Waypoint Editor we can edit existing waypoints? It has right now command "77->ENT".

I'm very sorry, but I don't understand your answer. For me right now: Because of the automatic lon/lat change of a game, Waypoint Editor does one extra unnecessary step, ending with wrong waypoints added.

What is "stuck without any update"? Let's get this into points, because I have a feeling that we are running circles.

  1. Issue of not working anymore, because of automatic lon/lat change.
  2. Function to edit exiting waypoints, instead of adding them.

This is working. https://github.com/51st-Vfw/DCSWaypointEditor You can ask there to improve the waypoint selection instead of 77
