[REPORTED]JTAC - point FORD always reported by the pilot

[vctpil]

Hi,

 

I have just created a very simple mission for purpose (see attachements). The AV-8B with a single waypoint, 13nm from targets and a JTAC. I also have an initial point ADDER.

 

At first contact with the JTAC, the pilot report 28nm south of IP FORD. This point does not exist as you can see in the mission. The JTAC report the correct ADDER point and distance/bearing to the target.

 

A bug ?

 

Thanks,

Vincent

Just tried the mission several time. The offset function cannot be used with the informations given by the JTAC. The offset waypoint is far from targets (+/-40nm) because referenced to FORD, that does not exist.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks.

I get the same result.

 

In the mission editor, we only have one IP called "ADDER".

The "mission" file contanied in the .miz has 4 IPs, but none of them is called "FORD":

To be sure about the problem, I call the JTAC once after take-off, restart the mission and hold over ADDER before calling the JTAC.

 

The result is the same, the JTAC always give me the point FORD and a bearing/distance at 40nm from targets position.

I've just tested the same thing with the A-10C: same behavior.

Reported, must be a bug.

 

thanks

Thanks to you to change it to REPORTED.
