[REPORTED] SA page orientation incorrect after setting HSI to "N UP"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Steps to recreate:

 

1. put the HSI on the AMPCD with the color map turned on, observe the orientation of self with the map when in Mode "T UP" which is default

2. put the SA page on the AMPCD with the color map turned on, observe that the orientation of self with the map is identical to the HSI

3. now put the HSI on the AMPCD, and click "MODE" - "N UP" observe the change in orientation of self with the map

4. put the SA page back on the AMPCD, and observe how own plane and the compass rose is oriented incorrectly as "T UP" but the color map is now in "N UP" mode

Expected results:

SA page should maintain a "T UP" map, regardless of the setting of the HSI. I am assuming this is the expected behaviour, because I do not see a similar way of changing orientation on the SA page. I would love to be able to have both HSI and SA pages support "N UP" however, just not sure if its realistic or not.

Do you have a track?

 

Here is one, the bug is a little like the SA BRA bug, if I fly 0°T everything is correctly positioned.

 

Normally the map turns about the aircraft, aligned with north on the compass rose on both the HSI and SA page.

 

Here I'm approaching Radar AA on the disused airfield near Kobuleti

If HSI MapM is set to North Up, flying 0°T everything is correctly positioned on the SA page (as compass rose and map North are aligned).

 

However at 90°T, AA threat rings, bulls, etc. are in the sea, as the map stays fixed and doesn't turn with the SA compass rose.

you are right Ramsay (hope your dogs don't eat you), this does indeed seem to be related to the BRA bug, and your explanation correlates with what I'm seeing too

a couple of post 2.7 bugfixes sounded like they were addressing this issue, but it still is not working as expected.  Referencing the following from the patch notes:

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.7.0.5118/

  • HSI/SA are oriented track-up but color map is oriented heading-up - Fixed

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.7.0.4625/

  • Setting Map North Up for HSI makes it North for Map on SA Page - Fixed

I'm just wondering if this bug is what's being worked on, as it has been 2 years and I was excited to see it might be getting addressed.

 

Regards,

Zyll
