Chart inverted in "Stolen content" AH 64 mission, Syria

[Moxica]

I enter coordinates 69584412 to find a target building. Lazing the point just to find som familiar buildings on the wrong side of me on the chart. On a closer look, it turns out the chart is inverted, and it is impossible to find the correct building. Finding the first target was pure luck.

@Moxica If you are talking of the user created mission pack "Stolen Content - 3 missions for the AH-64D in Syria"

Which mission and (TADS ?) chart are you talking of ?

Are you sure the issue is "map" related and not related to the mission or AH-64 ?

Edit: Assuming you mean M02 - Village, the coordinates look good

There's also this video of the mission if it'll help you explain what is wrong

Yes, Ramsay. That's the mission. In mission #2
I was given coordinates for a house. I changed map to "chart" to find it. So I lazed the tg point I created. (As in laze, and miss, looking at the chart to adjust, until I was on top of it with the laser. -In cpg seat).
I ended up looking at some empty fields, and using some long buildings in a row as reference, I saw that they were on the wrong position. (Upside down, reversed or flip flopped)
And, No, I'm not sure whether it is related to the map, the ah64 or the mission. But I don't see how it can be related to the mission.

I'll assume you used map>chart>Sat as the aviation chart and digital elevation types don't show buildings.

The co-ordinates look spot on when I create a target point at those co-ordinates.

Here the TSD map has been set to "North Up" before being panned, so the target's orientation matches the F10 map.

What can and has caught me out in the past is, when you use "pan" to slew the TSD map, it's orientation is "frozen" to the current heading/mode (until unfrozen with R4).

Here, I'm viewing the target while at the FARP and the default map "up" is aligned with the heading 292°M i.e. the south-north roads are running left to right.

Perhaps something like this caught you out ?

It would seem I was caught out.  But I slewed towards the target point. Fired laser to update image on the map. But the target was not there, and the tads were looking at wilderness. This goes for both target points.
i will try the same mission again now..

I have noticed rendering distances be a problem in Syria, with trees and buildings perhaps not appearing in the TADS until 20-15 km ?

I'm not sure how this compares to the Caucasus map, as Syria has been my main AH-64D mission map with Caucasus reserved for training, but it is something I've learn to look out for / be aware of.

You assumed correctly. I don't know that I froze the map, but "FRZ" it is! Lé culprit.   
Still, there is some "anomaly"; Here is the target point/coordinates (69584412), and the building on fire. Somewhat "off" to put it mildly.
(I'm in VR and drifting, hence the not-centered-building..)
