The JDAM in-zone cue for the FA18 on the HSI/HUD is wildly inaccurate.

 

In my testing it appears to get worse based on a combination of altitude and speed to the point where it eventually cannot be trusted at all.

 

Dropping IN ZONE at M0.85 @ 20000ft results in a hit on target with about 1meter spread. (acceptable!)

Dropping IN ZONE at M0.85 @ 25000ft results in a hit on target with about 5meter spread. (acceptable!)

Dropping IN ZONE at M0.85 @ 30000ft results in a miss as the bomb falls short approx. 300-400 meters. If I delay my drop until I'm approx 1/3 to 1/2 the way through the IN-ZONE "zone" the bomb will hit but with approx 15 meter spread. (unacceptable!)

 

Dropping IN ZONE at M0.65 @ 20000ft results in a miss as the bomb falls short approx. 300-400 meters.  (unacceptable!)

 

I need to leave the house, I can provide track files later, although this can be very easily tested and reproduced 100% of the time by using the parameters mentioned above, I tested last night many times.
