Lazerhawk started following K-14 Sight - Confused about "mil" unit in Air Forces Manual and What is "Level Lugs Line"?
-
Hello, I'm reading "Air Forces Manual No.64 - Fighter Gunnery Firing Rockets Dive Bombing 1May1945.pdf" about wing lines and dive bombing in the P-51. On p. 78 I read the term "6 deg from level lugs line": As I'm not a native English speaker I'm having trouble to understand what is meant by this (my dictionary also didn't help). On p. 75 I also found this picture, where they talk about "leave lugs" which I understand even less And finally on p. 74 there is a section that gives additional explanations (for P-47, but I think it's also true for P-51): Where are the 6 deg being measured from exactly? From p. 74 I would assume it's measured 6 deg down from the plane's nose (?). I also found something that looks similar in Chuck's Guide on p. 123: (107 mils is the same as 6 deg) Here the 6 deg are measured from the center of the gun sight. Does this correspond to the Air Forces manual? Sorry for asking such pedantic questions, I just find it interesting and like to understand as much as possible Thanks!

Thanks @Zabuzard again! It all starts to make sense now -

Hi @Zabuzard, sorry to bother you again. Judging from your examples above, am I correct in assuming that the diameter of the sight circle is 71 mils (blue in picture below) and not the radius (red in picture below)? Best regards! -

Hi @Zabuzard, Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my question in such detail! With your explanations I'm starting to get the hang of it now. Thanks again! -
Hello, I'm reading "Air Forces Manual No.64 - Fighter Gunnery Firing Rockets Dive Bombing 1May1945.pdf" and I'm confused when it comes to the unit "mil" used in this passage on p. 88 when talking about the K-14 sight: According to Wikipedia, "mil" has two meanings: - abbreviation for "milliradians", a unit to measure angles (71.12 mil would be 4 deg). - a "thousandth of an inch", a unit to measure length (71.12 mil would be 0.07112 inches or 1.8 mm) As "thousandth of an inch" seems not to make sense here, I figure it's milliradians? What does 71.12 mil mean here? And what does it mean if the circle is 71.12 mil or 4 deg as described in the manual? Thanks!

Awesome tool! Thanks & keep it up! -
Has this been addressed in today's OB patch? I couldn't find anything related in the change log.

F/A-18C Kneeboard Suite - Updated 20 December 2023
Lazerhawk replied to Minsky's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
This kneeboard suite is a piece of art! Thank you again! -
After DCS 2.7.17.29140 Open Beta I too experienced some weird behavior in the Apache: More "SAS Saturation" warnings than I am used to After activating ATT HOLD it keeps deactivating/activating by itself (box around speed indicator in IHADSS disappears/appears every now and then) Strange drift to the right when trying to come to a hover position At one point I could perfectly auto hover with hands off without engaging any HOLD mode These were some observations I made before I found this thread. After reading this thread it seems likely that the HOLD modes keep being activated (after first use?) even if the pilot has deactivated them.
