What does this data means in the HUD and in the "Shkval" ?

nullHello,

using some VIKHRs I have noticed that I have some feedback in the HUD and the "Shkval" that I don't know what they mean.

I thought it was the distance to the target, but when the missiles hit the target, the countdown of those numbers still continues.

I have marked them with two colored squares, does anyone know what they are?

Thanks!

The number on the TV display should be the slant range. The number on the HUD, I think, is the time remaining on the laser rangefinder.

Ok, thanks!

To clarify further, the number on the HUD is the laser rangefinder "cooldown" timer. Do not fire another missile or range a new target until this counter has come to 0 and disappears, otherwise you risk overheating the laser and damaging and degrading it's performance.

By the way everything is written in the DCS:SU-25T flight manual.
