Question Shuttle Fleet RMS position

[metallica787]

Hello,
is it a bug of Shuttle Fleet 4.8 R2 that the RMS gets deployed too "far"?
From what I've seen in other simulations (SSMS 2007) and original NASA footage, the RMS should be perfectly aligned with the port side of the shuttle when fully deployed.
Is there any way to fix this or is it the way it should be?

That's not a bug. The shuttle's arm is angled out-board in the deployed position. Not surprised that SSMS has it wrong and I don't know what NASA footage you have seen. Check out the images I've attached.

Thanks for the clarification.
