Input distance and AOB, TDC reveals normally, the mistake appears in the position indicator of the input speed TDC .

The bearing is read in the 12 o'clock position of the dial, not on the arrow.

Could we not make a 12 o'clock tick mark on the interface like there is at 9 and 3 o'clock?

In that case, at what is the arrow indicator (pointed at about 30) aiming?

Thanks for the info.

Are you sure? Then what is the arrow fer?

I was thinkin (always a risky opeation) that the arrow was the bearing indicator.

I thought (another risky operation) the arrow on the bottom of the position keeper was the gyro angle. and the top arrow was what angle it would hit said target

The arrow shows the gyroangle calculated; simply put, it's showing the 'lead' or 'lag' applied to hit the target at the current AOB/speed settings.

The 12 oclock position is the bearing to target. The next patch will add a tick mark at the 12 position, elanaiba has posted a screenshot of it here somewhere. The arrow pointer is the gyro angle.

There you go, a WIP screenshot.

The marks are in the game but for some reason do not show. It was pointed out and hopefully corrected on patch 1.2
