VRP CZ moves steerpoint?

[sith1144]

hello! I was experimenting with the VIP and VRP features in the manual, and when I had it set to a VRP pressing cursor zero seemed to move my steerpoint to where the TGP was looking? also a bit later when I pressed "IP" (OSB 10) the game crashed. Anyone know if its supposed to work like this?I dont think I fully understand this feature at the moment haha! https://gfycat.com/pepperyposhiraniangroundjay 

edit: I realized it doesnt show well on the GIF, but my initial steerpoint was the north end of the runway in Groom Lake. The buildings it moves to were never my initial steerpoint. When I turned off VRP it slewed back to the initial steerpoint, until I clicked CZ, when it moved me back to the houses. this is entirely unlike how I expect the TGP to work lol. Id attach a track but the game crashed, does anyone know if it still saves it?

I'm getting a crash on sighting point change too: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/287564-crash-cycling-vrp-sighting-point/ I don't believe that crashes have a saved track.

In several important ways DCS VRP and VIP is working correctly and in several important ways it is not. Judging by the "IP" on OSB10 label you are in VIP mode, not VRP. But in either mode the IP/RP and the TD symbols should move smoothly and continuously while slewing the TGP. The symbols should always be pointing at the sensor sighting point at all times. Pressing CZ should cause both symbols and sensors to jump back to their zero-slew positions together.

Here is a track demonstrating how the symbols should move together with slewing. By changing the sighting point the sensors will jump to the other sighting point. This is normal and correct. What is incorrect in the attached track is that the weapon aiming cues (ASL, etc.) are changing based on the sighting point selection. In the real airplane the weapon aiming and weapon delivery are always to the target, regardless of sighting point selection. In VIP there is some navigation to the sighting point but never, ever weapon delivery.
