• Waypoints are indicated by circular marks
• Waypoint number is indicated into waypoint mark
• Initial point for glide slope interception is indicated by a diamond
• Runways are indicated by a solid rectangle
• Current waypoint has inverted color
• All waypoints are connected by a route line
In navigation mode, navigation information is displayed on the HUD and HDD. There are three
navigation sub-modes: МРШ (ROUTE), ВЗВ (RETURN), ПОС (LANDING) and mode without
task. Switching between sub-modes is performed by successive presses of the [1] key.
The next route and waypoint will be displayed on HDD.
In ROUTE mode, the route line passes through all planned waypoints. To switch between waypoints
you can use the [LCtrl-~] key. The route line will connect your current position with the selected
waypoint.
In RETURN mode, the route line will lead to the glide slope intercept point.
In LANDING mode, the route line will lead to the desired air base. Airfield selection can be chosen by
cycling the [LCtrl-~] key.
Navigation Modes
When in the ROUTE sub-mode, a circular sighting mark is displayed on HUD; this shows the direction
to reach the current waypoint point. Above the airspeed and altitude indications are indicators for the
preplanned speed and altitude on a given route leg. When the current route point is reached, the
sighting mark will automatically switch to the next waypoint. Planned route and waypoints are
displayed on HDD.
In the RETURN sub-mode, the sighting mark shows the glide slope intercept point. The shortest line
to the glide slope point will be indicated on HDD. Manual switching between airfields is performed by
pressing the [LCtrl-~] key. After reaching the glide slope intercept point, the RETURN sub-mode will
automatically switch to the LANDING sub-mode and the Tower will provide landing instructions.
