FW-190 D9 Targetdistance / Wingsspan wrong

[Doughguy]

Target wingspan set to 11 meters for a spit, distance 500m according to new "fixed" distance indicator. Spit is 500 meters away.
Crosshair is wrong/ too big.
IIrc the current 500 meters setting was 300 on the old scale, which will be more fitting.

600m

500m

400m

 

200m

And that one was fixed...

Sorry, I don't want to go off topic, but I just noticed something.

The wingspan scale, you have a 10 mark all the way to the right, then the next mark is 11, which is your setting, then you have 12 (long vertical line with small horizontal line through it), 13, 14, 15 and the 16 that is marked with 15? Or is the big vertical line not 12? Judging by the non linear spacing I guess I am wrong?

The + would be 11,5m which would make the crosshair even bigger.
The marks arent evenly placed if you look at the spaces between the first long crossed out mark, for  "generic" one engine planes.
But thats not the main issue.

 

The recent fix of the target distance scale was only cosmetical. The 400 meter mark was once 100 meters, which was quite "correct", distance wise.
The old mark between the 100m and 600m was ~300 meters iirc
After the "fix" that mark would be 500m as it sits between 400m and 600m... Telling by the labels, the distance is actually ~200m framed at a wingspan of ~11meters, not 500m as indicated by scale.

Distances above 600m seem correct. Anything from 600 below is off per the new target distance scale.

Regardless of size, gyro is also useless now for aiming while turning. It was pretty good before patch, but now rounds go off the target.

i can only reproduce this in the air, not on the ground unfortunatelly since i cannot produce a noseover doing screens with active pause.
