Razor18 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Didn’t find anywhere else in the Bugs section, sorry if missed it. Mother says (example) : BRC is 360…Marshall on the 180 radial…expect Final Bearing 360. But Final Bearing is not equal to BRC, it is rather BRC minus 9 degrees (landing deck angle). Am I mistaken somehow, or is it really an ATC bug? Thanks

Razor18 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Yes, but final bearing is not equal to BRC, thats my point...
sLYFa Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Thats strange, Marshall always tells me to hold on FB reciprocal not BRC. Unless its case II , then BRC is used. FWIW in real life the holding radials are always offset from the FB/BRC by 10-20° i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
Razor18 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Just looked up DCS Supercarrier's own Operations Guide, Glossary, page 91: "Final Bearing (FB): The magnetic bearing assigned by CATCC for final approach (an extension of the landing area centerline); usually BRC minus the landing area angle of 10°." So if BRC (which is indeed the ship's magnetic course) is 360, you should Marshall on the reciprocal of BRC (in this example the 180 radial), and the Final Bearing will be 350 degrees (if the landing deck is angled in fact 10 degrees to the left of BRC). Seems this was copied from the CNATRA P-816 Naval Operations manual, page GLOSSARY A-3. Edited January 31, 2022 by Razor18 3
