w.i.p A-A HMCS No Variable Target Locator Line

[Comrade Doge]

Greetings readers,

In this post I wanted to share a finding about the HMCS Target Locator Line, namely it being fixed in length and not variable, as it should be, it's actual length should be depending on the angle from the center of the HMCS to the target.

These variable TLLs seem to be implemented for A-G features, but absent in A-A.

Variable Air to Air TLLs for the HMCS are present in the actual jet, for both FCR tracks and PDLT, as proved by the MLU M3 Update Manual, page 86 (the last line on the page); page 79 (the last paragraph in the "Link 16 Primary Datalink Track Cue in the HMCS" section); page 172 ("TLLs on HMCS" section) and page 71 (in Figure 6-27).

I have attached a trackfile showing the current implementation, which is only a fixed length TLL, in FCR tracks and PDLT.

Cheers and have an easy day.
