reported Rad Alt Low bug doesnt work on the VSD

[Renko]

Like the tittle says, the radar altitude indicator for Low Alt doesnt work on the VSD.

Easy to test, no need for a track. This was done from the Instant Mission of Caucasus named "Sling Load to the top of a ridge"
I attach a screen capture that show the setting of the Rad Alt knobs showing the warnings, and the VSD without the warning

In fact the rad alt scale gauge moves but the scale should have a green overprint that doesnt shows either, so maybe its related to that.

The reason they really really want a track, is that it's easier for them to run it through their debugging tool, which the track system is. It's really not a replay tool. Then they can quickly debug it straight away and pinpoint why it doesn't work, instead of going through and setup/play a mission. That's why the absolutely best track there is, is a super short track just showing the issue.  

Cheers!

Thanks for you feedback Max

Anyway, for the benefit of all users here is a short track

There you can see both:
- No Rad Alt bug moving on the VSD
- No Rad Alt green overprint showing on the VSD with the gauge

And i found a new bug i think. A discrepancy of the VSD Rad Alt and the Rad Alt itself.
The VSD one seem to be updating faster than the other, to the point of sometimes a difference of 10ft. During climbs and descents.
Both use the same sensor for data so both should be in sync always i would guess.

Hope this helps

Hi, 

The VSD/Gauge speed discrepancy and the bugs not moving is reported, but the green tape was removed previously due to a documentation refinement. So that's working as intended but the manual will be reviewed in the future. 

thank you for your report.
