IN-FLIGHT NAVIGATION SYSTEM
See Mobile Mission Planning Cell, p. 1.10, for more details on this map.
The game has an in-flight navigation system that looks and feels very similar to
the Mission Planning screen. The map’s main purpose is to display the current,
real-time position of your helicopter, as well as all helicopters in other flights.
Most of the other data and display options are identical to the Mission Planner —
the major difference is that you can’t change tasking assignments, weapon load-
outs, or crew positions. You can’t rehearse the mission or view a terrain profile.
Another difference between the Mission Planner and this map is that you can’t
adjust any waypoints that were set before you took off. You can, however, add
new waypoints to your own flight path (but not the flight paths for other heli-
copters). Adding waypoints is most useful when you run across unforeseen
situations — by adding a new waypoint, you can sometimes avoid trouble or
answer a request for assistance.
After you’ve added a new waypoint, you’re free to move it or delete it.
♦ To add a waypoint, left-click on the small green box between two sequential
waypoints. All subsequent waypoints will be renumbered accordingly.
♦ To move a waypoint, left-click-and-drag it to any point on the map.
♦ To delete a waypoint, right-click on it to open the Waypoint Information
Window, and left-click on the Delete box. All subsequent waypoints will be
renumbered accordingly.
KIOWA DIGITAL MOVING MAP
Kiowa
The Kiowa comes with a scrolling digital map display that displays known informa-
tion about the area. The map appears in the center dashboard display, and is
shared by both cockpits. This display has no sighting function — it is purely a
navigational aid. Note that the digital map is based on archived geographic
information, not on the imaging systems of the Kiowa itself.
