HUD TGP symbology offset depending on QNH


Deano87

Recommended Posts

Hey all.

 

Latest Beta

 

I noticed in a few of my missions that the HUD symbology for where the TGP was looking was offset vertically for no reason I could figure out. The TGP was looking in the correct place but the box in the HUD showing where it was looking wasn't. I fiddled around in the mission editor to see if I could figure out what caused it. Happens to Cold/Hot and Air starts, on all maps. I finally managed to narrow it down to be the QNH air pressure setting in the mission. If this is set to anything other than default the TGP symbol will be in the incorrect place.

 

Lower pressure = Lower Symbol

Higher pressure = Higher Symbol

 

I set up a simple mission with a single APC at the middle of the small airfield next to Kobuleti.

 

Ran it 3 times with 3 different pressure settings 28.92 - 29.92 - 30.92, tracks are attached which show each run and should show the problem well.

Hope this Helps!

What happens if you set your altimeter to your test values? I noticed that in both images you have a 29.92 value but you say you had a different value in the ME. Altimeter errors were obvious because you have a altitude value of 4450 but the radar altimeter is reporting 5310AGL.

Now that is a good question!

Nothing. Makes no difference.

Persian Gulf. Target points on HUD and on the DDI TGP- in the difference places!

 

Persian Gulf map.

Target points (in CCRP) on HUD and DDI TGP screen - is in the difference place! Offset is about 50 meters!

Here on screens. Target points on HUD on the road visually, and on the TGP screen - outside.

I tried "tricking" the system altitude by turning off radar altimeter, GPS and trying different alignments and Kollsman knob settings. The good news is that if you adjust Kollsman and then wait a little while the system altitude does update on the INS page. I don't think I've seen but TD box update accordingly but that might be because I haven't pressed CZ (and I didn't carry TGP so CZ wasn't available and FCR and HSD format don't have it).

  • BIGNEWY changed the title to HUD TGP symbology offset depending on QNH

It is reported, when we have a fix it will be in the changelog. 

 

I have no ETA currently

 

thanks
