Confused on BRA calls in the SA screen

[sobe]

What is the call in the upper left portion of the SA screen and what is the purpose of the two BRA calls in the lower right of the SA screen?

 

 

I believe that the second line in the lower right is from the cursor to ownship, but I am confused on the other two calls (upper left and lower right).

[Wags]

Top left for TDC and bottom right for ownship (but there is a bug with that one).

 

The other two you may see on the HSI are bullseye (BE), not BRA.

Just to be clear, the call on the upper left of the SA is from BE to TDC and the call on the last line of the lower right is from BE to ownship?

 

 

What is the bug on the last one?

No, the lower right BE is to the target from the link-16 info i.e. your TDC cursor may be placed a little different.

 

ATM, there are two bulls displayed - top left for the cursor, and bottom right for target info. (only displayed when the cursor is over a target).

 

What is the bug on the last one?

 

The bugged SA BRA bearing is with respect to your heading, not the cardinal direction, so

 

• BRA 0 / 10 = at your 12 O'clock for 10 NM i.e. straight ahead for 10 NM

• BRA 90 /10 = at your 3 O'clock for 10 NM i.e. turn 90° left and fly 10 NM

 

rather than

 

• BRA 0 / 10 = 0°T for 10 NM i.e. north for 10 NM

• BRA 90 /10 = 90°T for 10 NM i.e. east for 10 NM

 

as it should be.

 

Tested DCS Open Beta 2.5.4.28090

 

Note: Top right is bearing, distance and time to your selected waypoint.

Thanks for the info. When you state: the lower right BE is to the target from the link-16 info Do you mean from BE to the target?

Do you mean from BE to the target?

 

Yes, top left is the cursor, bottom right is the target.
