[RESOLVED] HUD Waypoint Cross is Misaligned with 3D World

[Ramsay]

The HUD's Waypoint Cross "+" that appears at 10 NM is misaligned to the 3D world i.e. 7-8 pixels low @ 1080x1920

 

The waypoint's 'real' position is approx at the bottom of the the top "tick".

Actually, I also observed that the ILS square is low, and the bombing cues are low. It's possible that the whole HUD is shifted low.

I can confirm the synthetic runway also appears low from a distance but AFAIK it doesn't align perfectly IRL (different width and length to the actual runway), and given the other HUD ILS problems, the HUD's ILS display needs a lot of work.

 

 

... and the bombing cues are low.

 

The accuracy of the CCRP designation diamond seems greatly improved in this patch.

It's possible that the whole HUD is shifted low.

Each HUD mode uses a separate "page" and some elements are coded on a per-page basis, there does appear to be a systematic error across the HUD "pages" i.e. when compared to how the AV-8B displays the same waypoints.

Last I checked if you precisely line up the energy chevrons with the FPM you wouldn't maintain speed.

Are we ensuring that there is no drift occuring? Also, the DCS engine likes to round coordinates even in other modules so while you might input correct positions they may be rounded. If that is the case then this may be a totally separate issue entirely.

Hi, this should've been fixed in the last update. I'll move this to resolved, if you still have issues, post them here I'll reopen the report.

 

Thanks.
