    Did I post the thumbnails of those pics?
    I'm on mobile right now and can't get them to open properly.

    I'll have to fix later when I'm home, if so.

    Fixed it.
    Dunno why the thumbnails were the default link, but whatever.

    This is a very good report, not sure if it is a bug actually. I think a calculation is missing to represent off-screen waypoint markers in the 360 dome to the 2D viewpoint of the player. Or something like that....

    Yeah, if I remember when I get home, I might try zooming the camera in, going first person, and piloting from a different position on the ship.

    Or can anyone else confirm if the issue is in the same angles regardless of other positions? That is, something at your 4 o'clock will always show up at your 7 o'clock position when off-screen. I'm almost certain I was leveled out when the pics were taken.

    The direction indicator is wrong for most angles on the starboard (right) side of the ship. In some cases it disappears completely, but in others it points the wrong direction.



    First position:

    [​IMG]
    POI is at 4 o'clock

    [​IMG]
    Direction Indicator shows nearly 6 o'clock





    Second Position:
    (Turned ship a few degrees to port)

    [​IMG]
    POI is just past 4 o'clock
    [​IMG]
    Direction Indicator DISAPPEARS COMPLETELY





    Position Three:
    (Turned a few degrees further to port)

    [​IMG]
    POI still just past 4 o'clock

    [​IMG]
    Direction indicator has re-appeared and shows more than 6 o'clock




    Position Four:
    (Turned so POI is directly behind the ship)

    [​IMG]
    POI is directly behind the ship at 6 o'clock


    [​IMG]
    Direction Indicator shows 7:30 or so
