[REPORTED] A small inconsistency when specifying the weight of weapons (DCS 2.7)

[kotor633]

Hello,

I noticed small inconsistencies in the Mission Editor when calculating the weapons weight information: 

An Aim-9M weighs 190 lbs each at stations 1 and 7. Why do 2 Aim-9s add up to 377 lbs? And not 380 lbs? At stations 2 and 6, an Aim-9 weighs 223 lbs each. Why do 2 Aim-9s add up to 443 lbs? And not 446 lbs? 

One LAU-10 ZUNI pod weighs 699 lbs. Why do 2 such pods weigh 1396? And not 1398 lbs? 

One LAU-68 M151 weighs 251 lbs. Then why do 2 pods weigh 503 lbs? And not 502 lbs? 

One LAU-68 M156 weighs 251 lbs. Then why do 2 pods weigh 505 lbs? And not 502 lbs? 

One LAU-68 M257 weighs 262 lbs. Then why do 2 pods weigh 525 lbs? And not 524 lbs?

One AGM-65E weighs 761 lbs. Then why weigh 2 65E 1521 lbs? And not 1522 lbs?

One AGM-65F weighs 794 lbs. Then why weigh 2 65F 1587 lbs? And not 1588 lbs?

One GBU-12 weighs 611 lbs. Then why weigh 2 GBU-12 1221 lbs? And not 1222 lbs? 

One MK-82 LD weighs 503 lbs. Then why weigh 2 MK-82 LD 1005 lbs? And not 1006 lbs?

I'm going to guess that a 85.5 kg missile is rounded up to 86 kg and then 86 kg converted to 189.598 lbs which is rounded to 190 lbs for display. Then two 85.5 kg missiles are 171 kg which is 376.99 lbs which is displayed as 377 lbs.

 

Which is of course not the way to do accurate calculations. You want to convert and round only once at the end.

It looks like this issue is on ED's side, we will investigate further and work with them to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks.
