- Remark: After recent updates you may have noticed that pilot’s ASP sight gives you firing solution for S-13 and S-24 rockets. This is expected behaviour as relays for sight calculations in cargo cabin have only S-8, S-5 and GUV options. So, when other rockets are equipped we leave this setting on the default S-8. Solution sight gives you for S-13 and S-24 rockets is not accurate for these respective rockets, sight just gives you solution for S-8 mode.
