[ALREADY REPORTED]Wind Corrected Steering Cues

[KlarSnow]

Reposting this from the mag variation thread to make sure it has its own bug report.

 

The steering cue on the HSI/HUD in the DCS F/A-18 is not wind corrected, if you fly the heading it provides you will home to the waypoint, or fly a constantly curving course. This becomes obvious if you put a waypoint over a known position or object, have any kind of crosswind, select waypoint steering, and then follow the steering cue, your VV if uncaged will be wind corrected and point off to the side of the location you are trying to get to. This is incorrect per hornet documentation and how every other US aircraft with an INS works.

 

Where this becomes glaringly obvious is when you are in A/G Auto mode and are attempting to line up with the ASL. The steering diamond on the heading tape at the top of the hud does not line you up with the ASL. It should.

 

Currently in game it looks like this:

 

 

The key thing here is the VV is lined up with the ASL which means you are currently on the correct steering for a wind corrected release. However the designation steering diamond on the Heading tape is not lined up with the heading caret. It should be.

 

I have edited the same image to what it should look like.

 

 

This is what an actual lined up attack should look like. Note the little diamond at the top is centered in the heading caret, and the VV is overlayed on the ASL.

 

This disconnect becomes even more egregious if you try and line up the steering diamond with the Caret, then the ASL is in the center of the HUD, but your VV will be offset to the side.

 

All of this should line up, the VV should be overlaid on top of the ASL, and the Steering cue should be under the Heading Caret when you are lined up for a proper release.

 

This is a relatively minor thing, but it is also pretty easy to fix. The Hornets INS simulation is already wind correcting the VV in uncaged mode, and the ASL for bomb releases, just include that calculation into the waypoint and designation steering cues.

 

Just one of those little things that is obviously off and irksome that should hopefully be a quick fix.
