DCS: MGRS Primer for DCS Virtual Pilots

If you've ever wondered what the hell JTAC was talking about or been confused by the coordinate system the A-10C's CDU uses, this video is for you.
I'm using a handy MGRS Google Maps overlay, available here: mappingsupport...
This is a simple example of how to use MGRS, the Military Grid Reference System, to find a specific point within a map, starting at 100km precision all the way down to 10m precision by adding more digits to the coordinates.

Well I understand it. it still sucks though. that transition is horrible, right down the conflict zone. inconsistent continuations make it impossible to judge distances between the two grid areas. They should start with A on the left and A on the bottom. not some pulled out of their asses arbitrary letter. so if you know if you're at F that the next grid over to the right starts with A again. or better yet continues with G and then loop back around at Z to A. who came up with this nonsense anyway? sure it's shorter, but confusing, especially since you have to deal with the transitions. Not only can you not guess the direction and distances, they are also at different angles!

Heh, well put! I guess there's always lat/long. ;)
