[Fixed] Ar 234 Höhenkorrekturgeber -- wrong scale

[Charon]

The target height adjustment in the Ar 234 goes to 9990m, as indicated by technochat, which seemed pretty extraordinary to me. Are they bombing Everest?

 

I don't speak German, but the label reads "zielhöhe ü NN - hm", which seems to translate as "Target height over sea level -- hectometers". So it appears these markings should be units of 100m, not 1000m.

 

deutscheluftwaffe.de claims the scale is 0-10km, but given the clear labeling on the device itself I think this must be a mistake.

Not only does this make way more sense, but it's nearly impossible to dial in the correct numbers if you are not using technochat, which I definitely see as a flaw.

This one of the major reasons why I am against servers with no technochat. 

 

It works fine for 95% of the planes but, for the other 5%, mainly bombers or ground attack (i.e. the Ar 234 or Me 410 which are rather technical aircraft ), it simply doesn't work.

 

Present workarounds require pure keyboard gymnastics as you count how many times you tapped the Target Elevation Increase key.

 

I hope this can be fixed by next patch.

On the other hand, I never would have found this bug if I hadn't been prepping for a no-technochat co-op (we wound up switching the server for that flight only).

 

I expect this one will get fixed: they're usually pretty good about the flurry of small bugs new planes always have, and it's most likely a one-line change. The more problematic controls are those without a pilot-visible indicator.

Would really love to see this addressed, it's almost assuredly a misapplied scaling factor or typo in the code, it makes the 410 and Arado incredibly painful to use even at max-closeness FOV.

 

The 1 KM ticks are so out of whack there would be historical mention of Luftwaffe plots to bomb the Himlayas or Alpine ski chalets.

I think this post might have been best originally posted to the  FM / AI Discussion under Developer Assistance.

 

Mods, if you agree, maybe move it there?  Just trying to make sure it's seen by the right people who can make a change.

Fixed in 5.103b. Thanks!
