Ooh!  I think I found the link for you!

Will you fix the scaling error caused by PIMAX without PP enabled?

OK, I did some further testing...

I set up a quick mission, 109K vs B25. Set the maximum allowable start separation of 10 km. Labels and GPS on.

The first one was the Arras map and I was getting the same results as before. Even though the in-game label noted 10 km between us, Tacview only showed 4 km.

 

I tried the same scenario on the Stalingrad map and much to my surprise, the Tacview distance matched the in-game label of 10 km! I closed to 1 km and fired at exactly that distance and Tacview confirmed it at 1000 meters.

 

We have just recently started using Tacview as a debriefing tool and this is how we noticed the distance disparity.

 

I'm thinking that Tacview is erroneously recording the distance on the smaller maps. I will check it on Lapino to see if my theory is correct.

 

If you want, I can link the tracks and acmi files but I doubt that you will be able to do much about it. 

 

1st pic is Arras, 2nd is Stalingrad when I started firing at 1 km and the 3rd is the Stalingrad initial distance at 10 km.

 

"I'm thinking that Tacview is erroneously recording the distance on the smaller maps. I will check it on Lapino to see if my theory is correct."

 

Nope... distances are correct on Lapino. It may just be the Arras map.

 

Did you find out an answer for this?  When i checked an example, I counted 6 squares in between aircraft (60km) but TacView measured 21.5km.

It is possible that the Arras map has been scaled down to shorten flight times for the old kites.  Measuring the distance between cities on a real map of France should help to confirm this.

I opend map in mission editor and distances from citys are same as on real world maps, map is 1:1 scale like other maps in game, i dont have FC to check if icons show correct distances like on other maps but see no reason why they should not if mission maker shows map in 1:1 scale.

Interesting.

 

A case of a third party tool not being all it should be then.

I sent a PM to Vyrtuoz with a copy of my post.
