TAD orientation issue

Its been bothering me for quite a while. I believe that TAD is not oriented correctly and instead it is rotated a few degrees anticlockwise. See the below two images. On the first one I'm flying dead on towards my waypoint and I believe the flight path line on TAD should go straight at 0 degrees top to bottom but instead its at the angle. On second I tried to point the plane so the line on TAD actually goes straight but then the heading on the HUD is way off.

Can someone tell me if there is something I don't understand here or the TAD is rotated.

Maybe that's the difference between True Heading and Magnetic Heading? Not sure which each of the A-10Cs sensor are using (HUD/TAD). :dunno:

Also keep in mind, that the flight path indicator is taking wind into account and corrects for that, while the TAD is not.

It appears to be happening only in the caucasus theater, i haven't noticed it in PG or NTTR

There's a 10 knot wind slightly from the right (057°). Looks like a proper wind correction angle might actually account for the difference between heading and track.

Would be great if you could share your mission or tell us which one it is.

Or place a waypoint on the other side of the wind and check if the TAD offset changes its orientation.

Thanks! I will run some more tests and report back.

I am definitely noticing this issue as well on the Caucasus map. Haven’t tested it on any other map.

I reported that long time ago and it still unfixed. Flying the A-10C on Caucasus map is very annoying for me for that reason.
