leadlag Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Hi Guys, For some reason, sometimes when I'm flying the Eagle the HUD becomes unreadable during a flight. It appears that I can only see a zoomed in part of it and I cannot see the edges where all the essential information is. Is it me? Am I pressing something? I have tried everything but nothing reverts it. I have to restart the whole mission to get it back. Thanks In advanced to for any advice on this.
Cybermat47 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I'd suggest posting a screenshot, so we can see exactly what's wrong :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Destroyer37 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Try zooming in and out, that works for me when this happens. 1 Specs:Fractal Design Define R5 Black, ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E, Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake @ 5.1 GHz, MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X, Corsair H110i, G.Skill TridentZ 32GB (2x16GB), Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500GB SSD
leadlag Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I have tried zooming but still doesn't solve the problem. Will try and get a screenshot. Just imagine looking at the HUD and only seeing the inner 70%. Like i have zoomed in. Very annoying
GGTharos Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Because you have moved your head away from the HuD. That is how a real HuD works: The size of the projection remains constant, so if you were to stick your nose up to the glass, it would look like a tiny projection compared to the glass, but you would still see the SAME SIZE projected ahead of you. Likewise, if you move your head back, the projection will now appear to be larger than the glass, so you won't be able to see it in its entirety.

It is like I have leaned forward in the cockpit as perspective of other instuments changes . Didn't realise you could do this. How do you do you lean forward and back? I can zoom using mouse scroll but leaning is differrent. How do you reset your position? Sorry if this is a obvious question.
Tucano_uy Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Keypad enter resets zoom and keypad 5 centers view.
Paco Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I have a related question. How come my mini-hid only shows airspeed and attitude? It used to show altitude as well. Any ideas? Paco
