David Walsh 811659 Posted June 10, 2009 at 12:19 AM Posted June 10, 2009 at 12:19 AM Is there any particular reason why I can't enter waypoint/navaid names into the scratchpad? I would like to enter PEBLU into the scratch but it won't take it. It will take it if I put >PEBLU or a similar variation but not the waypoint itself. Cheers, David.

Todor Atanasov 878664 Posted June 10, 2009 at 12:12 PM Posted June 10, 2009 at 12:12 PM How do you set the scrach pad? You shouldn't have any problem setting any FIX or navigation aid by INS (button) + NAME and then click on the tag => http://euroscope.hu/wiki/index.php?page=Non_Standard_Extensions EuroScope BETA Tester/Board of Designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jannis Wiese 1015833 Posted June 10, 2009 at 06:28 PM Posted June 10, 2009 at 06:28 PM The Scratchpad will never contain any navigation point. Putting the name of a fix or NDB/VOR into the scratchpad will issue a direct to this fix. The scratchpad remains empty but the direct is set as next COPX.

Stephan Boerner 945550 Posted June 12, 2009 at 09:25 PM Posted June 12, 2009 at 09:25 PM To be more specific: it still is inside the scratchpad, it is just not displayed as scratchpad entry by ES, because ES recognizes the waypoint and then issues the DCT. Theoretically a VRC user is able to view the waypoint in the scratchpad. The problem with VRC is, that it can only display 4 characters in the scratchpad, so I don't know which part of the scratchpad is displayed in VRC if you for example set a speed, a direct and a rate. Everything will be there, it will just be too long for VRC.
