Bug: Temperature effects Target Indicator an Aiming


Mr. M

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I made a few Tests flights in 1.5.6.1648 with this Mission Setup:

 

Target: one Building an ground with no elevation

My Plane: AJS 37 armed with 8 M-71 Bombs

Waypoints: one Attack Waypoint, direct on Top of Target Building

Mission Weather : Temperature 0° C, no wind (important)

Cockpit Setup: as per Checklist for Dive-Bombing (Manual Page 306)

QFE is set correct.

 

1. The Target Indicator Rig on the HUD appers under the Target Building. Approaching from another Direction will not change this View. looks like it is ~ 50 m below Ground (my QFE is set correct).

 

2. Changing Weather Temerature to +20°C makes the Target Indicator Ring appear on the Target Building. Looks best.

 

3. Changing Weather Temerature to +35°C makes the Target Indicator Ring appear hoovering over the Target Building.

 

4. With Temperature 0°C and putting the Aiming Dot on the Target Building the Bombs will fall behind the Target.

 

5. With Temperature 0°C and putting the Aiming Dot on the Target indicator Ring the Middle of the Bomb Line covers the Target Building.

 

My Guess: the Correction for Temperature is set to the Target Indicator Ring, it must go to the Aiming Dot.

 

As I see it Aiming work best with Temperature 20°C and no wind.

 

Hope this will help.

 

Greeting M.

I know you said you had the correct QFE. But just incase u dont know, changeing the temperature also Changes the pressure. So make sure you check the kneeboard for correct QFE every time u change temperature in the editor.

 

Ignore if u did this :P

Is that to say we have to correct for temperature by hand, and that the pressure settings on the kneeboard are correct for ISA only?

Hello!

thanks for your Replies, excuse me for my late answer, was at Work.

 

First I must say of forgot to Mention that I was at Static Weather wenn making my tests (my fault).

 

By setting Dynamic Weather the QFE is now changed by Temperature.

 

Usually I took the QFE from th Kneeboard, someimes verfied by a very very low Pass next to the Target )Altimeter points almost to zero).

 

After few Bomb Runs with different Temperatures I see the target Indicator Ring is moving up and down with the Temperatur (Reverse Logic).

 

A strong wind also effects aiming, sometimes it "blows" the Aiming Dot out of the HUD.

 

I will make more Tests to be sure, but will wait for tomorrow, maybe we get the next Beta-Version.

 

Thank you all fo you elp.

 

Greetings Mr. M
