Robin_Hood Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Hi, I noticed that A/A waypoint uses true bearings instead of magnetic headings. Is this correct for the F/A-18C ? Shouldn't both BRAA and Bullseye calls use magnetic bearings ? They say this is CNATRA P-825 Air to Air Intercept Procedures, for both BRAA (sections 204 & 304) and Bullseye (section 1702). Or maybe this is only for T-45 training ? Also, for spike calls, the USAF says to use magnetic bearing (AFTTP 3-1 Vol1 Att1, section A1.6.22). In fact I don't think I have seen true headings or bearings mentionned in an tactics, communications or procedures document, although I could be wrong. 2nd French Fighter Squadron
Beamscanner Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 IDK whats in game right now, but yes. IRL magnetic heading is used.
Frederf Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Depends on either coalition or nation. If you're red-Russian it will be in true and km. If you're blue-USA it will be in magnetic and nm.

robgraham Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Yeah the air to air waypoint is def using tur, not magnetic which is wrong and bloody annoying if you have a Gci, as your bra and picture calls are messed up if they are doing them correct i7 13700k, 64gb DDR5, Warthog HOTAS, HP Reverb G2 VR, win 11, RTX 3070 TGW Dedicated Server Admin, Australian PVE/PVP gameplay.

Robin_Hood Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Is it confirmed that the F/A-18C should show magnetic bearings for A/A waypoint (or maybe, tied to the MAG/TRUE selection on the A/C page)? Should this become a bug report? 2nd French Fighter Squadron
