reported EW PAGE manual error

[Vlad_Mig]

EW page symbology (threat circles) is described in other way than it works in DCS, the outmost circle is non-lethal bands the second one is lethal, and the inner is critical (not the small one with status indication)

This might be correct for the Hornet. It sort of makes sense to have the critical threats displayed on a bigger circle, more clarity with closely spaced threats. I know... in some other jets it works the way you described.

Now, if we could only get the display INS-stabilized, so whenever the Hornet turns, regardless of bank or momentary signal loss, the threat symbol would rotate smoothly maintaining the correct (roughly) aspect toward the threat. Then, whenever RWR recalculates the new aspect, the symbol would adjust accordingly. It wouldn't probably be that much off. Currently, it takes forever.  After making a 180 turn, we still have to wait till RWR catches up in huge jump.  That's an unrelated issue though... it would be nice to hear from SMEs on OP's post and on my ramblings.

This was the way it is in the manual decades ago (i.e. critical threats on the inner ring) and that's why other planes like the F-14 have it that way in DCS.

The DCS Hornet was released that way, but ED correctly fixed it to critical threats on the inner ring, just the manual hasn't been updated as the OP reports.

The ring logic (i.e. the interpretation DCS has made of what lethal, non-lethal and critical mean)  is wrong currently though.

reported thanks, we will get that corrected

I notice that per this original post the error still exists in the current version of the manual.
