PWCG and BOS target waypoint position

[Nibbio]

While doing A/G missions I noticed that the targets are exactly where the PWCG map places the target waypoint, but the same waypoint in the BOS map is always some 5 to 10 km off (Stalingrad map).

 

Playing with no labels I need to take note of the actual waypoint as it appears in the PWCG map in order to find the targets in BOS. Not a big deal, but maybe something Pat would like to investigate?

Add a target icon?

I like navigating without gps, so it's ok, I don't mind the added challenge of locating the target. Just thought you might find interesting that the waypoint you place in PWCG is placed elsewhere by BOS, at least on the Stalingrad map. Maybe there's an offset in the coordinates?

The WP is not right on top of the target.  It is the Attack MCU that is.  I think only the WPs have icons, so the last WP will not be quite at the target.

Ok, thx for the explanation. Not yet familiar with the editor but looked up the Mission Control Units. Maybe someday will explore more...
