More AC and added DDM to F18C #25
Conversation
-Added DMS/DDM and applied it to the hornet (the hornet uses DDM for precise bombing) -Added both F-14 Variants to the coordsType ac list -Added the AV-8B to the AC List with the A10_C2 -Added A-10C because legacy
Wamwod
changed the title
haha extra space go brrt

I think that the precisce bombing of the F18 uses DMS. You enter degrees, minutes, seconds and then decimal seconds.
Example:
N 13°35'12.52", E 144°55'54.11"
N 13°35.208', E 144°55.901'
55 P BR 76205 02979
168m, 551ft
Is entered as follows (taking lat as the example):
So I don't think that there is a change necessary for the F18, unless I am missing something?

Scratch that, you were talking about the PRECISE option in the HSI data page. You are correct, this allows to enter DDM coords 👍

FYI, I've added some options to further adjust how DDM coordinates are displayed. This inculdes four decimal places for the F18, and a zero padded 3 width wide longitude for the F16: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/blob/main/Scripts/Hooks/scratchpad-hook.lua#L277-L292 |

Awesome this works even better 👍 I'm new to coding and was just adding the F14 and changed the F-18 for myself so I figured I'd make a PR to help others out since the F-14 wasn't added yet |
