Does "TOT" function work as intended ?

[jojo]

Everything is in the title. I read the manual, I tried, but it doesn't seem to work.

It's possible it's been broken recently, but last I used it it worked.  Post a track of what you're trying (and a description of the problem you're having) and maybe someone can see what you're doing wrong.

- select SEQUFC on HSI

- Enter TOT

- Select target point

- Enter ground speed (or not, I tried with and without).

The chevron below speed indication is stuck to the right, no matter what speed I'm flying. I tried to enter TOT matching ETA on HSI, the chevron is still stuck to the right.

What format are you using - local or zulu?

1. You need to have a target in sequence (it's not this same as designating waypoint as target)
2. You enter TOT in Zulu, with seconds (6 digit).

All of the above.  This is why you really should post a track rather than just saying what you're doing.  Doesn't take much longer and is much more useful to those trying to help.  Since you might or might not already be doing the things that have now been suggested to you, if you provide a track people can check those and maybe spot some other simple (yet not obvious) thing that you're missing.  Too often these threads go on for multiple pages only to find out that the OP misunderstood or missed something suggested near the top of the 1st page and a track would have cleared it up immediately.

Yep, the time is Zulu (I've worked all my life in military or civilian aviation, local time makes me cringe).

Yes, I designated the TOT WPT in the séquence, it's boxed.

I would just like to know if somebody managed to make it work in OB 2.9 ?

Apparently nobody is using it...

First, we are trying to make sure you are doing everything that's required to get it to work (my TOT is working fine).

Second, do us and the community a favor and post a track, because if you don't, and it is a bug, someone else will eventually have to post a track.

So it's working for you on OB 2.9.
Thanks, that's just what I wanted to know. It wasn't a bug report.

Actually, there might be something wrong with it. At times, I see my req speed growing rapidly when it should not, and it seems to be related to the distance of my plane from the waypoint. That might be the issue you are having.

I used it over the weekend and it worked fine.

I just ran the mission again. Works fine. 

 

Night mission with weather. Launch from carrier and rendezvous with tanker from nearby airbase at Zulu 00:21:10 (03:21:10 local) at WP 1. 

Information input:

HSI showing correct ground speed:
