resolved [REPORTED]FPAS descent distance

[Frederf]

Reference NFM-000 2.3.1.1.6 Waypoint/TACAN Steering Area, second sentence also Figure 2-7 "DISTANCE FROM TACAN STATION (WYPT) WHERE PILOT SHOULD BEGIN DESCENT."

 

Currently DCS is displaying a number that is the current distance to destination minus the calculated distance to begin descent. E.g. if station is 50nm away and point to begin descent is 20nm the value will be "30". As distance to destination decreases 49, 48, 47, ..., 23, 22, 21, 20 the value displayed will be 29, 28, 27, ..., 3, 2, 1, 0.

 

According to the above reference the value should represent the distance from destination to begin descent. E.g. per previously example as distance closes 49, 48, 47, ..., 23, 22, 21, 20 the value displayed should be 30, 30, 30, ..., 30, 30, 30, 30.

I believe that this has been fixed.

You should probably mark the topic accordingly, for people who will inevitably stumble upon it while looking for info on that datablock (not described in the Hornet's manual).
