Bullseye

[diditopgun]

Hi !

 

Selection of waypoint 00 on VTB set our aircraft as the bullseye position and bullseye infos are distance and azimut of the TDC from it. Ok I have no problem with that.

 

But if I select any other waypoint from the original flight plan or added in flight, the distance/azimut infos on the VTB look totally wrong and link to nothing coherent.

 

Exemple: the bullseye is 6nm in front of me bearing 212. I put my TDC at this position and bullseye infos show 371/296 ... :huh:

 

WIP ?

Same here, checked with a teammate too with similars results predefining it while editing mission like aircraft options or selecting it throught "N" switch.

The bullseye coordinates displayed on the VTB show the TDC position relative to the bullseye.

 

When bullseye is 0 (no bullseye) it shows the TDC position relative to the aircraft. When you have selected a waypoint as the bullseye, the coordinates will show the TDC position relative to the selected waypoint. I have not tested if the values are correct because I was busy with INS alignment and drift errors. But that is how it is supposed to operate.

Hi Zeus !

 

Yes I agree it should operate this way, but actualy only TDC position relative to aircraft is correct. TDC position from bullseye is wrong.

That is the information that I have. I must guide myself from it. Remember that it doesn't matter how other aircrafts work. All of them are different even if they perform the same job.

Yes of course. I only report that the TDC position relative to bullseye actually give us wrong numbers:

 

Exemple: the bullseye is 6nm in front of me bearing 212. I put my TDC at this position and bullseye infos show 371/296

Same here, see link.

And Zeus' answer on that:

TDC/Bullseye relationship is untested and very likely buggy. I must finish some INS part before working on the bullseye/TDC relationship.

 

Let's be patient :)

Up ! :P

 

Is it normal that azimut is given TO bullseye and not FROM ? I don't think so according to how it works in BMS's F-16 and AWACS reports, but maybe it's a french specificity ?

And same question for distance/azimut and not azimut/distance (as for F-16/awacs) ?

I hope this is a bug...

It reads range/ azimuth.

 

It's strange but it's like that in the real one.

 

Azimuth should be given "from" BE off course.
