[FIXED] TDC bearing and distance indicator wrong

[Napillo]

see image - I am heading 269 - to my left should be lower numbers (I'm heading west, so left of west is south - 180) the distance is correct in this shot, but after locking with VSSTT a target, the distance is counting from the target, not from my airplane. Also, the numbers for heading seemed to be correct, but then got flipped after the VSTTT.

 

I am referring to the white numbers in the bottom left corner of the radar display. Also, if you move your tdc to the right of the screen, the numbers go lower for the bearing as you go further away and higher as you get closer

It looks like it's an "on the fly" OAP from the currently selected waypoint? but it's still wrong, because the angle to the waypoint would be the reciprocal of the displayed number, and the 'distance' is not the distance from the waypoint to the tdc, so idk why it's displaying that.

If this is the same indicator as in the F/A-18, it should be the distance to the tdc and the angle to the tdc.

the dist is from tdc to wpt, and it's correct

the bearing should be tdc pos in ref to wpt (fixed)

ok, so in air to air that's useless, but air to ground, I can use that to calculate the incoming angle (distance isnt in feet, and isnt from wpt to tdc, so no use for OAP) ... that's good to know.

For ROE I guess it's useful, you can set a waypoint on the border, and if an enemy aircraft crosses that border (into protected air space), you can engage. You could tell that with those numbers.

the bearing is from tdc to wpt, there's a bug, used wrong ref (fixed)

Sorry, can you clarify this?

Is the bearing supposed to be TDC -> WPT, or is it WPT -> TDC?

The latter is the only one that make sense because it makes bullseye usable; but your post is ambiguous as to what ref has been fixed.

hopefully the reference is to your aircraft, or DST00 - that makes more sense, this could happen if you happen to set the reference to the wrong one - DST40 (current SPI).

the latter one, when no hpt, wpt is ref
