  • In this series, I am doing my best to go over every part of the CDU or Control Display Unit in the A-10C Warthog. My goal with this series is to take away the fear and mystery that surrounds the CDU and make it not so complicated or frightening to delve into. By the end of this tutorial, you will know everything there is to know about the CDU system inside our favorite jet of all time.
    I do not claim to be an expert in this material so some of the things I talk about may be wrong or not even modeled in DCS. If I've made a mistake please comment below and correct me so that we can all learn together. Thanks for watching!
    Today, I'm covering the Navigation page and subpages which can be found under the NAV Function Select Key to the far left of the CDU.
    Please feel free to correct me on anything I might have misstated or misrepresented! I am learning as I am going through the CDU

    If I understand right, I can put a waypoint on the threshold of a runway and set the waypoint type to terminal and do an EGI approach ?

      That is my understanding as well but I have not done it yet and am not absolutely sure. Can anyone else shed light on this?

      I tried this at Tbilisi airport, put a WP on the end of 31L with 3D VNAV and a 3.0 degree glidepath. With no ILS tuned, nor TACAN or anything else, and with EGI and STPT enabled on the panel below the HSi.
      Set the Course to 303 and got the bars guiding me in. So it seems to work.
      I did have issues with the altitude setting, as I set the WP with the altimeter setting I had with the plane, and that threw it off when QFE was set.
