Aircraft missiles lock on targets with the center of the screen instead of the HUD markers
New, WishlistPublic

Description

ALL Jet missiles and PO-30 rockets won't lock on targets with the HUD markers (e.g the <> sign on A-164) unless the cockpit view is centered.

This has made locking on targets extremely difficult for TrackIR users.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Join any Server or start a single mission with enemy vehicles.
  2. Enter a jet or PO-30 in first-person view.
  3. While in the cockpit, pan your view off the center.
  4. Switch the weapon of the aircraft to missiles.
  5. Impose the HUD marker onto an enemy targets and try to lock it on. (it won't work)
  6. Scroll your mouse and impose the action marker in the center of the screen onto the same target. Try to lock it on again. ( It will work this time because action markers are in the center of the screen).
  7. Center your view and do step #5 again. ( It also will work)
Additional Information

I don't know whether the jet pilots and helicopters in ArmA 3 are equipped with helmet mounted sights. But if yes, the HUD markers for missiles should move with the view. (They should be stayed in the center of the screen). Otherwise players should still be able to use HUD markers to lock on targets even if their view if not centered.
