reported Any sensor slewing the TGT point drags waypoint with it

[VFA41_Lion]

2.7.15.26783 Open Beta

Steps to reproduce:

1) Designate waypoint as target

2) Switch to SCENE mode

3) slew it off the waypoint a bit

4) press TDC depress

5) observe in the ATFLIR pod that the selected waypoint is now designated where the FLIR is pointing

6) slew the FLIR, see it dragging the waypoint with it

7) Undesignate it as a TGT, select WPT on HSI, and see that the original waypoint has changed its coordinates to where the FLIR was pointing at

Observed the same, but with any sort of designation. OP, maybe you can change the title to reflect this.

What happens is that merely depressing the TDC to create a designation, will permanently move the current waypoint to that location. Selecting WPDSG or having a WP boxed before or not makes no difference, it always happens.

It occurs with the ATFLIR, but also with other modes of creating a ground designation, such as via the HUD while in A/G mode.

EDIT: added track

I really hope we see a hotfix ASAP for this, this makes navigation and A/G impossible.

not related to pods only, every way of designating will cause the bug

Bump this topic. Frustrating to have your flightplan waypoints dragged around the map while targeting with the pod. Fingers crossed for a hotfix.

had multiple reports from my squad too. Any TGT designate you do in TPOD or in the HUD moves WP. not only is it inconvenient, the WP number blocks what u are trying to see.
