[AS INTENDED] Magic MAV pattern far smaller than manual says

[dorianR666]

hello,

 

when performing the MAV scan pattern with Magic missiles on both wings, the width of the pattern should be 70 degrees according to manual:

 

However when you test it in game, the pattern is far smaller horizontally - only about HUD's width. This makes the mode pretty much useless. If the target is outside HUD horizontally, the target will not be found.

Not only is it not 70 degrees, but its not even those 40 degrees of one missile. Its much smaller than both.

This was an assumption based on best guess info. Unfortunately the true parameters cannot be shown due to restrictions from the ADA and we cannot implement them. Marking AS INTENDED and moving to RESOLVED

So, what is the correct width currently implemented in the sim ?

I don't understand this either?  I get that you can't use real data due ADA restrictions. 

 

So the manual is your best guess info but the actual module doesn't match the values from the manual ?

The manual should reflect the ingame behaviour then. Most confusing.
