f14 rio

idk if this is only an issue from the rio seat or from pilot seat aswell but scratchpad gives wrong format in f14 rio seat atleast

What format do you get, and which format do you expect?

Currently it is

elseif ac == "F-14B" or ac == "F-14A-135-GR" then
            return {DMS = true}

when it should be

elseif ac == "F-14B" or ac == "F-14A-135-GR" then
            return {DDM = {precision = 1}}

Additionally, I noticed that the AH-64D should be using MGRS truncated (Google told me UTM is rounded, MGRS is truncated) to 4x4 digits. (E.g. 37 T FH 2779 7357 instead of 37 T FH 27799 73578)

@Zrad522 As I don't fly the F14, and since the F14 setting was contributed from someone else, I only quickly checked a youtube video about the F14, and there the entry was in DMS and not DDM. Is this different between pilot and rio?

Regarding MGRS: the way they are returned from DCS, there is unfortunately no easily way to round/truncate them (possible but a lot of effort).

As a matter of fact, the youtube video might have done it wrong. I've talked to a squadron member of mine and he confirmed that {DDM = {precision = 1}} is correct. I'll update it when I find the time

The confusion might come from the LANTIRN TGP screen, which uses a DDM precision of 2, compared to the F-14s NAV computer which uses a precision of 1. The LANTIRN is only able to be slewed to one of the NAV waypoints though. Picture for reference below:

Updated. Thanks again for bringing this up 👍
