reported earlier BRA Indicator Shows BRA Information to L&S Target

[Cepheus76]

Hello,

I noticed that after the latest update the BRA indication on the radar page will show bearing and distance information to the designated L&S target, both in RWS and TWS.

Yet, according to the manual, page 160 in the March 24, 2024 edition, states that the BRA indication should always for the cursor position related to ownship.

In the track you can observe how the BRA indication will show the expected behaviour until designating a L&S target and then shows the bearing and distance information to the current L&S target.

It's been reported in the past but i guess it needs to get bumped. 

This behavior is correct for older OFP's for the hornet. But ours is suppose to be much later(17-19C i dont remember which one). Should always show BRA and A/A WYPT to the cursor regardless of an L&S existing.

On a related note, IRL, I believe the SA page is mechanized in such a way that it should always display bullseye info for the cursor location.  In the game, it only provides this when you’ve put a track (either provided through the datalink or ownship sensors) under the cursor (TUC).  This makes it impossible to place the cursors at a location being  called by AIC or a member of your coalition to gain SA on something (like a pop up group or SAM for example) not currently depicted on the SA page.

Unless something has changed/been broken recently, it always shows where your TDC bars are in relation to bullseye in the top left corner UNLESS you don't have a bullseye entered OR if SA page is not priority in which case it will show TCN info if you have one tuned.

If you're not seeing it I would check that you have actually assigned a bullseye (A/A WP) in the HSI / DATA page.

Thanks rob10.  I didn't realize the info was displayed there because I usually still have TCN info selected from the HSI page.   By deselecting that on the HSI page, then going to the SA page, it shows up in the top left as you stated.  Appreciate it!

Just to clarify, you don't need to unselect TCN as long as you make SA page priority.  TCN info on SA page should only show if it's selected AND SA page is NOT priority.  When SA page is priority, which it should be if you're moving the TDC bars around on it, and as long as you have defined bullseye in HSI data page, it should give you TDC bars to B/E in the upper left.

Can explain what you mean by making the SA page priority?

When you assign the TDC to it.

SCS switch toward whichever DDI (or the HUD) you want make priority (a few information type screens can't be made priority, but most can).  SCS towards whichever DDI you have SA page on, which also allows you control of the TDC bars on it.  Whichever screen (and thus whatever page is on it) has priority will have a * in the upper right corner.  If the HUD is priority it will have an * rather than the DDI's or AMPCD screens.
