RickJamesBish Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 I am having some issue with CCRP and it is likely my lack of understanding of the HUD symbology. All necessary systems are operating. I can successfully drop the ordinance and hit the targets but I fail more than not and I think it is due to my flight path marker. I use my targeting computer and Helmet Display and while flying parallel to the target area to acquire visual of the target or target area, then use TMS up to designate. I continue flying to get distance and altitude. I climb to about 12,000 to be in the same general scenario as the tutorial. I turn to target and see my target area on the ground. I have no problem lining up the target designated on ground, the steering line and, excuse my lack of correct terminology, the cross at the top. The issue is my steering point. It always seems to be off to one side or the other drastically. I have to maneuver around and find the correct approach. What am I missing?
Solution VKing Posted March 2, 2024 Solution Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Am I understanding correctly that you are flying by lining the steering line up with the gun cross? If so, then that's your problem. The gun cross at the top of the hud is irrelevant; a CCRP attack is flown by putting the FPM on the steering line. It doesn't matter if the line is left or right in the HUD, the computer will compensate for drift as long as the FPM is lined up with the steering line. For a strong crosswind, the correct lineup might look something like in this screenshot. Edited March 2, 2024 by VKing

So just the Flight path marker and the steering line then? Hopping on and giving this a shot right now! Thanks
