Waypoint bullseye option in ME

[Truthkeeper]

I was wondering what's the purpose of the option "waypoint bullseye" you can find in the mission editor in the tab "additional properties" (the one with three dots) after selecting one harrier.

 

After last update I was able to display the refueling zone overlay inserting the waypoint number (#5 in my case) in the mission editor option, but I'm still at loss for the use of "waypoint bullseye" because, no matter what waypoint you select in the ME, I always read direction and range towards the actual bullseye in the HUD

 

Any idea?

On the ME map you see a little blue circle and red circle, this is Bullseye for Blue and Red sides.

So in your example picture you could drag the blue circle on the map over your Harrier WP1 if you wanted that waypoint to be Bullseye, then you would select WP1 from that drop down menu to tell the aircraft that WP1 is Bullseye for the mission, or you could set it up as WP2 or any other waypoint.

 

Its always a good idea to make sure you actually drag the Blue or Red Circles over the Waypoints you want to use as Bullseye tho, if you do not do this the AWACS will give picture calls from the wrong location as these picture calls are always given from where the Blue or Red Circle is on the Map, not what WP you have selected as BZ in the Harrier itself.

 

Hope all that makes sense.

Thanks for the info.

So I modified the BE location putting it over my waypoint #7 (that is Fujayrah in my example) and accordingly modifying the tab in ME.

Point is I don't know what change I could expect in the aircraft moving map because there's no different symbology for WP7.

I mean there seems to be no change whether I chose to designate wp7 as bullseye or I didn't...
