      Good Day, All,
      Is there a way to recover Mark Points made during a flight after leaving the mission? I was Weaseling and came across 2 SA-10 sites. I made mark points, which showed up as WP 26 and 27 ( after making 2 markpoints) The lat/long data showed up as well on my UFC.
      I would like to frag a mission to go back and attack the Grumbles. I checked my DTE after the mission and they weren’t there, or rather it would not let me select 26 or 27.
      I also checked WDP, and couldn’t find them, though admittedly WDP is problematic for my BfB campaign

        On the long flight home pull up the mark point info on the scratch pad and write it down - on you next mission add it to your steer points using list 1 dest function. If there is a way to transfer Mark points from one mission to the next I would be surprised and interested ;0)

          No way to rcover MRK points.
          I usually write down the bullseye location of markpoints i need to work on the next missions.

          If you remember the general location of the SA-10 sites, you can create Threats circles (Steerpoints) on the AI MAP and save the DTC. This will keep the data as long as you don’t delete it.

              Was about to say the same/similar as Lorik. For convenience I zoom into ded with co ordinates displayed and use screenshot. As I run my 2D in window it’s a quick click on desktop shortcut to go to picture folder.

              Why use 3 words when 50 will do 🙂

                Thanks, Guys, that’s what I’ll do.
                So, IRL and BMS, we jot down/save the coordinates, but they’re not saved in the DTE? That surprises me.
                Meanwhile, I’m going to RTFM to review how/if to datalink them.
