Manual Update?

[kotor633]

Hi,

@Polychop Simulations Is it planned to update the current SA-342 manual?

Hi, yes it is, but we still have a number of future features planned and some already in progress. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to both implement them and document them at the same time (given we're also doing this for the Kiowa), so once we reach a certain cut off point on the Gazelle we will update the documentation.

That's great news!

Well, that's a statement you can live with for now. I hope/wish that it doesn't take too long. A good module also needs a proper manual. And your SA 342 has taken a huge step forward! I really enjoy flying virtually with her.

@Polychop Simulations But I still have one question/request: Could you at least explain why the Ranging Reference Marks are needed in the Athos Sight? What kind of information do these lines provide? Or is it enough to measure the distance to the target using laser ranging, align the helicopter, place the designation reticle on the target and fire the HOT3?

Best practice for now is to use the laser range finder to determine whether you are in range for the HOT missiles and just place the crosshairs over the target. The ranging reference marks are mil lines which should allow you to estimate the range of a target without the use of a laser range finder.
