Mnemonic Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Dear Heatblur could you please confirm is this intended behavior or a bug. When I do a cold-start, after the mission load while still looking at the menu, airspeed indicator shows "0" as it should be? Then, the moment you click "Start / Unpause" indication jumps to "80 Knots" on a cold jet. (logically it should be "0") here is a photo of real cockpit, and it shows "0" in a cold state, not "80" After taking off and gaining an altitude I intentionally entered a flat spin, indication +- "80 Knots" (again, logically it should be "0") Our DCS F-14 is unable to show speeds below 80 knots, is it a realistic behavior? What should be cold and dark state of an airspeed indicator? :book: Thanks! Edited April 2, 2019 by IronMike
VampireNZ Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 AS Indicator should display 0 at rest - if it doesn't it is in need of a servicing. On the a/c I flew on we had a specific cross-check between indicators at 80 knots where the co called '80 knots' and the pilot checked his showed the same - if not then was an abort. On the plus side they could do that check while still parked on the ramp if in the F-14 it seems lol. Vampire
Mnemonic Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks for the expert knowledge VampireNZ! :) So it should read “0” in a cold state, as well as in a spin! Heatblur please fix this!
Mnemonic Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 And I can confirm the same issue in RIO pit: minimum displayed speed is 80 knots, when airplane is cold and dark it's 80 as well as when in spin.
