  1. 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!
  2. Thanks @Zabuzard again! It all starts to make sense now
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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!
  6. Has this been addressed in today's OB patch? I couldn't find anything related in the change log.
  7. This kneeboard suite is a piece of art! Thank you again!
  8. 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.
  9. I experience the same problem since OB 2.7.15.25026 Open Beta (8-JUN-2022).
