Weapons depression Settings ??

DCS: MB-339A/PAN by IndiaFoxtEcho Visual Simulations

• Fixed: Stand-by ADI not caged when mission starts cold & dark
• Fixed: hundreds rotary of GunSight mills needs 9 clicks to go from 0 to 1
• Improved: Flight Director bars visibility

However seems the Gunsight reticle setting changes didn't make it in the last update. Still need 9 clicks on the Left most tumbler to set it to 1. Also the error associated with this in the reticle position at 99 mills versus 100mill setting is still there with a 13 mill error. (see my 14 November post above).

Thanks for reporting, I will check what went wrong with this update and I will fix ASAP.

Check with today patch.

So I have checked again and its partially fixed but the the actual depression achieved is incorrect. See the image below.

On the left I use 1 click to set 100mills depression. In the centre image I use the tumblers to set 99mills depression ... but the pipper is actually more depressed than at the 100mill depression ? The right image I set the depression to 98Mills. So if we assume that the right tumblers are correctly setting the depression  then the single Left tumbler when set is "under depressing" the pippa by about 3mills. If I manually set the right tumblers to 97mills the pipper ends up at the same position as if I set 100mills.

So at present to achieve an accurate 100Mills depression you need to set 103mills

The hundreds rotary is correct.

Good sleuthing BJ55 I agree 100mill setting is correct ,  It is indeed the Two right tumbler mill settings that are out. Jpg below using MB338 references only. Reticle diameter is 50mils so if rotated vertically can be used as a measure. So the right two tumblers are over depressing the pipper by about 3%.

And the sight seems to get about 15 mils more depression in mode 2-4 than mode 1, is that correct?

Yes, init_pos bug: operating in mode 2-3-4 adds 13.5 mils depression respect mode 1. Already fixed internally, we hope will be included in next DCS update.

Maybe it's already been asked (sorry for reiterating) but will the manual be updated with the correct depressions? 

If not the manual itself, at least an interim list here on the forum would be good enough.

We will try to give you something.
First of all we need to update the training missions

Thank you! I am really enjoying this beautiful little jet and the training missions.

Following up on this post, may we know will we be getting an amended depression table in the manual ? Or a listing over here in this forum ? Thanks.
