Stern shot off track in TDC?

Sry for the question, but you set the TDC to use the aft tube, right ?

Yes, and the track line doesn't go through the 180 on the bearing overlay, but it's 5 degrees off.

I just tried this with (GWX 1.03)

Bearing 180
Speed 0
AOB 0 and 180

the line goes perfectly through 180° for me. Is it only the green line on the map that is off or does the gyro angle idicator actually show 5°?

Sorry for not being clear

When I change the bearing gauge so that the line on the overlay map goes through 180, the bearing gauge itself is at 175.

Okay, after several tests tonight, I was unable to replicate this problem more than once... and even then it was less than one degree offset to starboard. (0.66 degrees) I am unable to determine whether the problem is related to stock SH3 or to the bearing overlay itself. The problem is not unique to GWX.

I have seen occasional references to this issue over the last couple of years, and the first references to this issue ocurred prior to the implementation of Pato's bearing overlay by GWX.

Considering that it appears to be an intermittant problem... I don't know what we can do to fix it.

It is not certain to me that replacing, re-working, or removing the bearing overlay will solve the problem.

Okay thanks for sharing.
The big question is: is the overlay wrong or is the bearing indicator wrong?
If the bearing indicator is wrong, then the stern solution will be wrong, resulting in a miss very often!, depending on range.

I think I remember this problem coming up in the stock game. I haven't seen it in GWX.
