The original poster is correct. This is not working correctly. The issue is that it will work correctly sometimes then stops working.

The PK should mimic a LOS diagram. So that own ship will not always point straight up.

The Own Ship ring (the bottom one) should point to the true bearing to the target at the top. And the target ring should point to the true bearing of your ship (so 180 deg out from where own ship ring points).

The bug somehow forces a relative bearing of 0 to the top of the ring.

Watch the training video that is a sticky. It works fine at the TBT and when he goes below to the scope it works fine for a few seconds then it abruptly jumps to the realative bearing of zero at the top of the ring and does not change on the next several updates. You have to be looking for it. It happend quite fast.

This may have something to do with the inputs to the PK so that UbI had designed in some criteria on the way this work (maybe something about bearing inputs). Not sure. but this needs to be fixed.
