=Mark Points=
 
To set mark points properly:
 
Go to markpoint on ICP
 
#Choose sensor (e.g. TGP, HUD, FCR, etc)
 
#Move cursor to desired location
 
#TMS-Up to set markpoint
 
#Press 0 on ICP to jump to markpoint
 
 
To assign target steerpoints:
 
#Create a mark point
 
#Switch to steerpoint referencing the mark point
 
#Select HSD
 
#Hold Comm Switch Right to send new steerpoint
 
 
To send cursor data:
 
#
 
 
=Steerpoints=

You can enter custom steerpoints using LAT/LONG coordinates entered directly in your ICP. These can be shared with wingmen over the radio in situations where data link is not enabled.
 
 
To enter a manual steerpoint:
 
 
#Press 7 (STPT) on the ICP
 
#Choose an unused steerpoint
 
#Enter the LAT coordinate. Remember to prefix any coordinate with N or S using ICP 2 or 8.
 
#Enter the LNG coordinate. Remember to prefix any coordinate with E or W using ICP 4 or 5.
 
#Enter the elevation of the steerpoint (which is AGL I believe)
 
 
You will now be able to access a common steerpoint with other flight members.
