Wait, flying a different plane?

Dont get excited yet feldwebel, you have a long way to go before we tell you where the other aircraft are hidden

Quick question: In the DED, I think it's called, when I press the stpt 4 button, it displays elevation. Is the elevation displayed here the desired elevation for you when you reach the steerpoint you are currently traveling to? This question was born out of sheer paranoia.

It is to show elevation of the target point to help you determine your HAT (Height Above Target).

Desired altitude and speed for cruising is shown on Cruise page (5 button).

Can you eloborate what this means: It is to show elevation of the target point to help you determine your HAT (Height Above Target).
I'm just trying to find an altitude to be at when i get to a certain steerpoint. They have a time that you need to meet, or should meet; what about an altitude?

Briefing has about 90% of all the information you may need when you are airborne.
It clearly gives you an altitude you need to be on per each STP. (assuming you face no other reason to disregard this pre-designated alt).

Great part of mission success depends on pilot's thorough 'analysis' of pre-flight briefing and intel. If it's RL situation, you'd want to make sure you are 100% clear of what you are up to before you strap yourself in.

DTS (Digital Terrain System) in F-16 comprises five primary functions: Terrain Reference Navigation, Predicted Ground Collision Advisory System, Obstacle Warninf and Cueing, Database Terrain Cueing and Passive Ranging capabilities (for inputs to weapon delivery computation). The combined altitude radar altimeter displays both Mean Sea Level Alt and Radar Altitude on the HUD. The difference between the two will be the terrain elevation. Hope it's clear.


Cheers.

I just looked at the altitudes that are given in the breifing, and the altitude displayed when you press the stpt button is the altitude in the briefing.

STP page on DED displays STP# /Latitude/Longitude/Elevation/Time On Target. (Destination coordinates and elevation + time over designation steerpoint)
If this is not what STP page on your DED shows, posting a screen cap would help.

Here is a screenshot of what the DED displays when I have already pressed the stpt button(last time I save as a .png from mspaint...):

The elevation reading seems to correspond with the desired elevation at steerpoint 4, correct? This Elevation is what is displayed in the mission briefing for steerpoint 4 as well. So basically, is the scheduled altitude--I realize it's not strict, but I need as many guidelines as I can follow--the desired altitude for the given steerpoint?
In other words the system is telling me to be at 10,000 feet when I reach steerpoint 4?
