Nice tutorial, how come you don't put the autopilot on when you are doing all the work because you are all over the place?

Well wouldn't normally use AP much while up front, and rarely fenc-in. I have my mfd and UFC functions mapped to a saitek dash controller, so generally don't have to do the 'snapping' of views. Was keeping an eye on altimeter and ADI through most of the vid!! Did use AP when using the EGI panel. Hope it did not spoil your viewing too much

Question, is the same technique used when receive locations from JTAC? For example if JTAC tells me "Tanks on the road from IP ADDAR 17 miles MM3300345" or something like that in the 9 line. Do I switch to OFFSET > (instead of going to BULLSEYE goto IP ADDAR) > Then enter MM3300345 into the pad, and connect MH/DIS? But somehow change the MH/DIS to accept MM... information?

The UTM, and LL cordinates are relative to a fixed (on the earth) reference, i.e. they wont change. The Bullseye is a moveable location (but only say on a daily basis), so locations relative to this 'bullseye' must be 'converted' to a location which can be referenced as an LL or UTM location. So no need to 'offset' an LL or UTM co-ordinate.

Hi, I've lost you on the TAD page with all the hooking thing, how did you make the SPI using the hook options? Thanks!

BTW real world we often have more than one bullseye active at a time. Especially in the theaters where you might be covering a 1000 mile border. So if we are dividing the country into lanes we might call the lanes, Florida, Kansas, Oregon. The bull for each lane might be Miami, Salina, and Portland. So calls would be more like, "Chalice single group, Portland 200/090, 22,000 Hostile."

It is wierd that AWACS said Alpha check before they gave you a snap to homeplate. ALPHA CHECK is used when the fighters first come up on freq. it is basically mking surre that nobody has their data input incoreectly. So it might sound like this. "Chalice (AWACS) Demon1 as fragged minus 1." "Demon 1, Chalice, RADAR CONTACT, SWEET, ALPHA CHECK BULLSEYE 240/22"

" Demon 1, Same" Demon agrees that he is Bull 240/22.

Either way great tutorial!!!

when i enter coords and press OSB9 to set it to waypoint, it set it to wp 8 but i can choose on my hud only from 0 to 7 wps... What's the problem?

Can anyone tell me what exactly is the advantage of switching from "HOOK OWN" to "OWN HOOK"? 04:07 Thanks very much.

Hey Gerry Fantastic tutorials - one question though - can you give me your TrackIR settings as they seem to work a hell of a lot better than mine!

Thanks
