Question on switch: Mag Heading - Flight Gyro - Manual Heading


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can some please explain how this functions in the DCS Black Shark? I have tried various positions and haven't noticed a difference on any indications in the cockpit. Where should I look to see this functionality demonstrated? For example, it doesn't seem to change anything on the HSI regardless of auto/manual mode. Something in the Abris?

I will take a shot at it. This is "supposedly" the switch that would update your INU heading. It doesn't really serve a purpose because there is no INU "drift" for the Ka50. But the options would be; You can either do magnetic heading(Compass), Gyros that spin up when you turn your INU on, or you can just enter the heading yourself. You won't see any gauges change because the second you turn on your INU, it is perfectly aligned for the rest of the helicopters life.

Gotcha. So as of now, it shouldn't make a difference between settings. Hopefully in time...

Unfortunately that is correct as far as I can tell. I think by default the switch is in Manual, so I might play around with INU alignment this week and see what I can come up with.

Thank you for giving a look at Reaper6, I've been also wondering about this switch for a while without geting to find out anything about it...
