Stickler Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 (edited) Observe the attached track and .acmi of an RIP OFFSET attack against a harbor tug with a significant crosswind from the right. With the aircraft more or less on track towards the target, upon precise RIP target insert, the roll tabs (and ADI flight director, not visible in track but I checked afterwards) command a turn into the wind, causing a significant miss since the amount of turn commanded significantly exceeds the required wind correction. No offset distance is set. On the other hand, the PPI azimuth seems to remain unaffected by the erroneous shift and can be zeroed to overfly the target, as expected (not shown in track, tested afterwards). [EDIT: This might not actually be the case, see the thread linked below]. This does not seem to occur with zero wind. VIP offset with actual distances set is apparently unaffected [EDIT: VIP offset is affected after all, see the thread linked below], however the system will erroneously steer you to a point upwind of the target when using an RIP different from the target. The same issue occurs in TGT FIND and all LABS/WRCS and DIRECT/WRCS modes (using the TGT FIND/Activate switches in the back seat) with an RIP. I have found no indications in the RL 34-1-1 or Heatblur's manual that would explain why the ADI and roll tabs command a turn away from the target and into the wind. This issue is likely related to the following: offsetwindmiss.trk Tacview-20241130-205127-DCS-offsetwindmiss.trk.zip.acmi Edited December 27, 2024 by Stickler 1
