[BUG] [2.9.8.1214] Heading marker does not point to WRCS target, HSI TGT Mode Light not illuminated in OFFSET/TGT FIND

[Stickler]

According to the RL -34-1-1, in OFFSET and TGT FIND,

1. the Heading Marker indicates the magnetic heading to the target as computed by the nav computer and controlled by NS/EW target distance counter after TGT INSERT is pressed,
2. the HSI TGT Mode Light illuminates when the TGT INSERT button is pushed on (if the instrument lights are ON).

In the game, after TGT INSERT is pressed,

1. the Heading Marker continues to point toward the target selected on the navigation computer,
2. the HSI TGT Mode Light does not illuminate.

Hi, I just tried what you said. I can confirm the TGT lamp doesnt light up.

However, the arrow correctly changes and points towards the TGT I have inserted, including the Flight Director ("ILS needles") on the ADI.

Thanks for checking. IIRC, the course arrow and ADI needles are working correctly. The bug report is about the heading marker not pointing to the target.

The difference may be more easily visible with a WRCS target not along the same bearing as the nav computer target and/or with a strong crosswind.
