Note:
For the Target Diamond symbol to appear on the
screen on HUD view, first the user has to click on a task in ‘Task Sections’
Table.
The arrow representation points left and right along the horizon (parallel to ground), so if the plane is flying level, these will be direct left or direct right (whichever is closer). If the plane is turning, they will be on an angle with respect to the plane, but will still be directly left or right with respect to the horizon. Different targets can be selected from the HUD view using the Shift + Mouse Right click (The crosshair should point at the newest target and always a mission and a task should be created in Strike Instructor Control panel to do this).
