Bug Report
Description:
The first waypoint when creating waypoints in the nav system does not create a waypoint marker on the TAC Map.
Expected Behavior
All waypoints should display a "Star" symbol on the TAC map for the respective grid location.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Spawn H-60 (any variant)
- Get on Aircraft Power and navigate to the "NAV" page
- Open ACE MicroDAGR and place at least 2 waypoints
- Use the "M-DAGR Import" function to import waypoints and "Accept"
- Check TAC Map and see a line attached to where the first point SHOULD be and the successive waypoints after it
- The first point in the waypoint menu will not show a star icon on the map
Alternatively: Repeat Steps 1 & 2 3. Open TAC Map 4. Use MFD Cursor Slew to pick a random point on the map 5. MFD Cursor select the point and Select "Create Waypoint" in the context menu 6. Observe point gets placed on the map but no "Star" icon shows.
In both instances, the bearing pointer on the HSI will still direct you to the waypoint, this is only a visual bug where there is no Star icon on the TAC.
Screenshots
What would the intended behaviour be, other than a star displaying obviously.
But for the track line? Would that display? would that use the own position to start the line and draw to wp1?
It's really just the absence of the star and not seeing it on the map. Yes the track line would display. When you punch in "Direct To" a waypoint, it always goes from your current position.
