Unsolved [REQUEST] Do not fiddle with my steerpoints
-
The situation:
I come back from a mission and tell ATC that I’m inbound for landing.
ATC responds that the airfield is black and not available for landing. It also tells me what airfield is availabe with additional infos like TACAN channal.
Thats fine so far.
But for some reason my steerpoint is magically set to that other airfield. What feature does the F-16 have here?I understand that this is nice for gamers but please don’t modify any steerpoints just because ATC tells me that the airfield is black. I think there’s something like an arcade mode in BMS. Such assistance might be fine there.

Absolutely agree.
Even if she doesn’t agree with the route I’ve chosen while I’m driving, my wife will never have access to my car’s GPS. -
…I could actually see this as a “hook” for a coming model, if that model is implemented well and correctly. Time will tell…

@Razor161 Usually you have a steerpoint to the alternate as well in the regular set of stpts. If your steer 10 is to land at the expected runway, then steer 11 would be the alternate. Are you saying it automatically switched active stpt to that ? That would be weird indeed
-
@Razor161 this is an old bug or “mis-feature” … I reported it a couple years ago, I recall
at the time, I thought it was only in the TR training missions… does it happen in Campaign or ordinary TE too? I’ll take a look
(my theory at the time, was that it was some not-fully-baked feature for the training scripts)
-
@jayb I’m wondering if he’s hearing data for the Alternate as you describe
@airtex2019 Could it be that UI is telling the AI where to go, and that is affecting the Op, too? -
I remember this issue, I watched it a couple of times during the last years… it happened in campaign, when asking AWACS for alternative.
Doing so, on the HSD you could see the base waypoint jump over to the alternative.Never lost a thought about it again - until now.

@airtex2019
We had a training TE were we had IMC conditions when we come back to the airbaes. It happened as described. -
I’ve also seen this happen in campaign, same scenario as above. Returning to base and the home base isn’t landable and ATC diverts me to alternate and the steerpoint automatically swaps over. I dismissed it as me doing something when I happened to me.
