Waypoint crosshair position in space.

[diditopgun]

Hi !

 

I set waypoint altitude on the ground at landmark to look at INS drift (too short flight I think because I didn't see any visible drift btu that's not the matter).

What I saw is the crosshair position ahead landmark when I am far and when I close up it finally go to the landmark position when I am near to overfly it:

 

 

 

 

 

So I first thought the crosshair was maybe under ground level altitude. But after further tests it looks like not.

If I set the waypoint at 700ft (ground level is 597ft) and fly in level flight, crosshair is at bridge table level when I am far. And at about 3nm, crosshair start rising up to reach its altitude above the bridge at 700ft:

 

 

 

Rather strange isn't it ? :noexpression:

Hi

 

Saw the same thing last night.

 

Plus another point, probably related:

 

Look attached screenshot, I'm just about to overfly the waypoint (+/- correct coordinates) but the nav system tells me I'm 4.2NM from it.

It looks like the drift doesn't impact the way the waypoint cross is displayed (or not "accordingly" at least).
