Need help - RP5 Sight depression calculation
-
Hi,
I need help with the math of this equation: “Approx. Sight depression = 3.14159/180 * tan^-1(releaseAltFeet/bombRangeFeet)”
p.92 of Realism Patch 5 Manual (for level bombing profile) contains this example: “3.14159/180 * tan^-1(2,000/7,900) = 247mrad”
But when I try to reproduce the answer, I end up with .004327.
Can anybody help? Or has a better manual for these calculations?
Thanks

Wow nvm guys.
Use a real calculator and use “DEGREES” mode.
Wolfram failed me and I thought to use Radian mode.
For anyone else trying to learn them. Now to write the code…

So, did this progress?
Currently trying to muddle my way through making attack cards, and calculating the various different numbers is… time consuming, at best.

Yes, its in my program, bms kneeboard and planner released on Google Play. Currently has the level release profile, the rest are coming.
Thats why I added it, takes forever to do with paper and a calculator.

Is this program released?
