Mach Meter&Altimeter drums texturing&animation error.

[Snappy]

Hi,

 

it seems to me that the rotating drums with the mach no. digits in the Airspeed indicator as well as the 

the QNH reference value drum in the Altimeter are textured /animated the wrong way around, i .e. on the drums

in DCS the higher numbers are downwards and not upwards.

 

I mean this:     As you can see the higher number is below the lower number. 

 

 

 

I looked at a few pictures of the real aircrafts cockpit and there it is the other way around, the higher number being on top:

 

 

 

On the second pic the Mach meter is harder to make out, due to the dashes in front , but it seems to read 4,5,6 from bottom to top

 

This pic is from the SFI AJS 37 del 1 kap 1 manual, again the dashes are in the way, but if you look carefully it seems to read 7,8,9 from bottom to top , again the higher numbers being above.

 

I can attach a track, if needed let me know, but the pictures explain it . Due to way the drums are textured in DCS, the rotate the other way around i.e. animated downwards

for higher numbers.

This seems to go for all digits in the drums, not just the last ones.

Kind regards,

 

Snappy

 

Edit:

 

To be fair, regarding the main altimeter qnh value window drum , there are 2 conflicting illustrations in the aircraft manual, but given the photos I think  the real system was designed with the higher numbers being above.

The mach meter seems to be definitely wrong.

could this kindly be improved in the course of the upcoming cockpit texture overhaul?

Not sure if we'll be able to do it for the next big push, but I tracked it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
