1.3.7. STPT page (4)
The Steerpoint page gives the pilot information about the INS
steerpoint.
The first line allows the pilots to toggle the active steerpoint with the
NEXT/PREV ICP buttons (notice the up & down arrows) and the
MAN or AUTO steerpoint function, which can be toggled with DCS
SEQ. MAN means that the new steerpoint has to be manually
selected. AUTO will increment to the next steerpoint automatically
when the INS detects the proximity of the current waypoint. In AUTO
mode an
“A” symbol is displayed on the CNI page next to the
steerpoint, as seen in the screenshot on the left.
The second line is the LATITUDE of the currently selected steerpoint. Placing the scratchpad there will
let the pilot enter the latitude for this particular navigation point. The latitude must start by inputting
NORTH by pressing ICP #2 key (notice the small N on that key) then the relevant numbers can be
input. The scratchpad will not respond until the cardinal key is pressed.
The third line is the LONGITUDE of the selected steerpoint. It can also be changed by placing the
scratchpad accordingly and entering new coordinates. The longitude must start by inputting EAST by
pressing ICP #6 key (notice the small E on that key) then the relevant numbers can be input. The
scratchpad will not respond until the cardinal key is pressed.
The fourth line is the elevation of the steerpoint (the altitude at which you are supposed to overfly the
steerpoint according to your INS flight plan). This is different from the real jet that has the ground spot
height for steerpoint in this field (it is quite relevant to TGP mechanisation and finding the target).
The fifth line is the TOS (Time Over Steerpoint) which gives you the local time the steerpoint will be
reached, if you are following the route of flight as planned.
1.3.8. CRUS page (5)
The Cruise page provides access to 4 submodes: TOS, RNG, HOME and EDR and gives relevant
information for navigation, time and fuel while cruising.
Each submode
must
be mode selected to become active and supply accurate information and cues.
Remember mode-selecting is done with the M-SEL 0 button and when active highlights the area.
The submodes of the CRUS page are accessed sequentially with DCS SEQ or
by pressing any secondary ICP button.
When first entering the CRUS page it defaults to the first subpage: TOS (Time
Over Steerpoint).
When TOS is mode selected a caret is
displayed on the HUD speed tape. To
ensure that you reach the steerpoint on time
for TOS match your airspeed with the caret.
The ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) to the
steerpoint is also displayed in the HUD.
When TOS is not mode selected (it no longer is by default since 4.33 just like
in the real jet) no caret is active on the HUD speed tape and ETE (Estimated
Time Enroute) is displayed in the HUD.
You can change your TOS and assign a new one by simply inputting a new
value in the scratchpad when the asterisks are around the DES TOS.
Further information on the TOS page includes the current system time, ETA at steerpoint and required
ground speed to get there at the indicated DES TOS.
