Outputting only DMS precision coordinates? #69

Closed Gil80 closed 2 weeks ago

Gil80 commented 2 weeks ago

Hi, Is it possible to only output DMS precision coordinates in the text area, instead of all the other formats?

rkusa commented 2 weeks ago

You'd have to change the copy of your mod. If you replace those lines with

return {DMS = true, DDM = false, MGRS = false}

you should get the desired result.

Thank you.

Lastly, is it possible to use this add on to automatically insert the coordinates via UFC in the F18?

Yes, @aeronautes created a plugin for that. At the top of the plugin script, there is a install and usage documentation: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/blob/main/Scripts/Scratchpad/Extensions/Disabled/aeronautes-pit.lua

Sorry to bother you once again. I tried to use it but it doesn't seem to input the correct coordinates. Do I need to be in precise mode or some other f18 config for this plugin to work?

@Gil80 I personally haven't used this mod yet so I cannot help. Maybe check the forum thread about the Scratchpad it looks like it has some conversations about the mod: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/195700-in-game-scratchpad-mod-available-works-great-in-vr/page/32/
