As you may be aware I am currently working on updating my Persian Gulf server mission.

I would like to know please if I add an automatic Mark Point in the mission can these planes (I know the Harrier can) use them for navigation / targets. I am working on using the randomiser for placing targets and it would make it easier for you guys to locate them.

If not, does anyone have any suggestions for the best mechanic for mission planning (I am aware of the F10 map issue for VR users)

Cheers

Only the Harrier can pull 'mark points' from the F10 map, as far as I know.

Mark points are something different irl, and are a way a pilot can can quickly create a special type of waypopint/steerpoint from where one of there sensors is looking, Tpod, HTS pod, Helmet, ground radar etc.... and are usually created through the UFC and are limited in number, ie 26-30 in the F-16. They often have extra features like displaying MGRS coordinates as well as the normal lat/long.

Could you associate a bit of text to display as a message along the top, linked with the random event that displays a general location of that event, that the pilot can enter into there nav system as a waypoint to get them on station?
