With the default 172 being the aircraft you get for many starter missions, you would think this would have been fixed pretty quickly…
How does this have so little votes!? This is a critical bug!
Can confirm, the circle icon is not useful nor usable, we need to see the direction the aircraft is actually pointing at and it makes no sense that this bug is present in the most used aircraft in the sim, the Cessna 172, should have been tested, apparently it wasn’t.
This is really something that needs to be fixed. Everyone starts out in a 172, so this should be affecting a large percentage of users.
seems to apply to pretty much everything for 2024
alt arc also missing
Fixed in SU2.
