The RCS accuracy is insufficient.

The accuracy of the Radar Cross Section is too low; I want it to be higher. image it should be higher, like 0.001m²

hope fix it quickly, ty

@BrettRyland have a check and thank you

H-3.zip plane is here

@BrettRyland 0.0001m² better

Firstly, what version of BDArmory are you using? That doesn't look like the current version. Please provide the KSP.log file when reporting an issue.

Secondly, an RCS value lower than 0.01m² from a certain angle is essentially meaningless since the value will be much higher as soon as the plane is no longer being viewed from that angle, so a higher precision in the read-out isn't meaningful.

I stand corrected. Apparently, such low RCS values are now relevant with the addition of the stealth coatings and radar absorbent materials. This is now fixed in dev to give values measured in dBsm when below 0.01m² and will be in the next release.
