AP unable to compensate wind

The Autopilot of the F-15E seems to be unable to compensate for any crosswind. The aircraft will get blown of course and the closer you get the autopilot will throw in more and more bank, leading to the famous banana shaped track towards a waypoint.

I'm not sure but this might be by design.

The nav litterally just puts the heading into the steerpoint.

If you want a compensated track I would guess you need Ground track or CRS that haven't been implemented yet.

That would be up to @Rainmaker to confirm if NAV mode includes wind compensation or not.

All navigation steering should be wind corrected to a steerpoint. That is just the default. You can tell it is not because your flightpath marker in the first screenshot is off to the side of the steerpoint circle. It should be directly over it. So the heading correction is wrong.

There are many things incorrect or not matched up correctly between the HUD and HSI steering cues currently. Its quite frustrating because the relationships between all this symbology and what is steering to what remains the same even in bombing modes. And its how you perform blind wind corrected AUTO bombing if you cant see the ASL for whatever reason. Currently that is essentially impossible and you have to ignore or misalign steering cues to get things to hit in any wind.
