pvi 800 manual entry attack point bug

[Migow]

hi , i think the pvi 800 implementation is buggy : you enter attack point while in live mission and when you designate with shkval , the azimut is correct but the elevation isn't correct , you end up looking for target :doh:

.

if the attack point is defined with the editor or with the "laser designation " or fly over it is correct .

 

i don't think it's a irl drawback the computer in ka50 must have map elevation . otherwise the attackpoint would be useless and they should never work.

 

this bug is since bs2? :(

hope people can confirm:)

thx

Manual entry doesn't have a way to enter elevation, as far as I know. Altitude can be inferred with laser ranging or flyover: helo position/altitude plus a slant range equals a point in three-space which doesn't depend on any separate elevation data. Edit: there must be some way of putting elevation in, or else, as you said, preplanned target points wouldn't be of much use, but it may be a ground-only operation.

 

For manual entry, the target point and the Shkval point will show up on the ABRIS, so you can slew up/down to manually correct as required to get onto target.

 

I'm not sure if this is real-life limitation, or if it's a shortcoming in the modeling, but you can work around it, at least. If it is a shortcoming in the modeling, I'd love to see a way to input elevation.
