Help with bullseye calls

[hachiman]

Hi.

 

Don't know if it's the game or my arithmetic, but i am making custom missions and setting up targets randomly on the map. I measure the distance and take the course and then just enter the mission and set the bullseye offset and away i go. Direction is perfect, but distance i seem to go past them by several miles. Is it me or is the offset bugged??

Have you tried comparing the actual bullseye bearing/range (after placing a mark point or mission point over the relevant group) to the ones you are getting with the map? You could narrow down your errors from there

Not sure I follow. In the editor I place a target down. I then measure the distance to the target and course from the bullseye in the editor.

 

I start the mission and set an offset from the bullseye using the distance and course noted in the editor. This creates the offset waypoint which now appears on the tad and hud etc. I fly towards it. Course is perfect but the waypoint is too long and takes me past the target

 

Thanks

Bullseye calls (from the AI) have a 1NM resolution for range, so the calls won't always get you right on target (as you probably know)

 

However you can enter up to 1/10 of a mile values into the offset page. Maybe that could account for it?
