Return of a bug. ASL not fixed to target point in auto.

[Holbeach]

This is a bug that was present in the original release and was corrected. It has now returned.

I am using old videos to illustrate the point and save having to make new ones to show the same thing.

 

This shows the original and present none fixed ASL at low level. At higher altitudes it gets worse and degrades the accuracy considerably.

 

After the original fix,This shows the ASL as it should be, fixed to the target point.

 

The ASL at present is incorrect.

Please stop me if this is all known.

Came here to report this.

Thanks for the report Holbeach - crazy how it came back after all these years lol!

Looks like it's not fixed to the designation in IRL hud footage (although this a RAF harrier and not an av8b)

The ASL likely displaces from the designation diamond by a fixed amount when it's correcting for wind.

That's not what we see in DCS where the distance between ASL and target diamond changes with the FPM/aircraft heading.

From the video the distance changes as he moves off target

However it doesn't match the diagrams, etc. found in the 2002 Tac Manual Vol 1.

AFAIK Razbam are consulting with SME's to confirm the correct ASL behaviour.

Here is the original thread on the subject.

It wasn't exactly a bug but more like incorrectly implemented.

This argument went on for nearly a year and was eventually resolved April 2019 when the ASL was deemed to be fixed to the diamond.

I made a video to record the event. (seen in another thread).

Natops TAC-000 shows it as fixed to the diamond.

Due to this misconception, the windage correction has not worked properly for years. Now works properly.

Some sort of bug or problem acknowledgement, would be nice.

The F-15E, shows the correct operation of the ASL, connected to the diamond.

The The AV 8B, now shows the correct operation of the ASL, connected to the target diamond.
