Command heading steering pointer not corrected for wind drift

[Hippo]

As can be seen from the image, this isn't happening. Notice that I'm using the ground track pointer on the HSI to fly a heading to correct for wind. However the command heading steering on the HUD is pointing me directly to the waypoint.

 

From the NATOPS:

 

24.2.9.1 Waypoint/OAP Direct Great Circle Steering. Direct great circle steering is available in all master modes and is selected/deselected by actuating the WYPT/OAP option on the HI/MPCD. Selecting waypoint/OAP steering deselects ILS, D/L and TACAN steering. When steering is selected, the option is boxed and direct great circle steering is provided on the HUD as shown in figure 24-12. To follow a direct great circle path to the waypoint/OAP, the aircraft is turned so that the command heading steering pointer under the heading scale is centered in the heading caret. The steering provided by the steering pointer is corrected for wind drift.

EDIT: Apologies, I meant to post this in the BUGS forum.

 

 

EDIT: Further apologies. I've just noticed someone else has posted the exact same thing in the bugs forum anyway. Jeez - I'm off to get more coffee. Please combine / delete / whatever.

I was the one, although I never had proof like this. Thanks very much. Hopefully this is good enough for ED.

Is it maybe because you have your hud caged? As you can see the extra "vector" symbol to the right. I'm not sure, just putting it out there. So your aircraft is actually travelling to the right of where your nose is pointed.

LTRMcrew, that won't make a difference as you are meant to be able to put the command steering cue under the caret and have a wind corrected course to the destination. Whether or not the VVI is caged should be irrelevant
