[CLOSED, NO BUG] HUD pitch ladder motion (youtube vid included)


Recommended Posts

Posted

the motion of the pitch ladder in the heads up display beyond 30deg nose-up and -down looks strange

 

the HUD pitch ladder symbology moves along with the background scene up until 30deg, then "slows" beyond 30deg ---- you can see the world in the background moving at a different rate than the pitch ladder

 

 

i might not be doing a good job of explaining it - so here is a youtube video demonstration...

 

---- DCS 1.5.0 OpenBeta - HUD pitch ladder motion -- before 30deg vs after 30deg

 

 

 

 

while i'm on the topic of the HUD, let me bring up one other point

 

the edges of the pitch ladder symbology have "tick marks" that point in the direction of the nearest horizon ---- pre-1.5.0 HUD symbology was easy to read - 1.5.0 is now more difficult to read because pitch ladder symbology appears smaller and the "tick marks" are closer to the pitch angle number

 

 

 

here are a examples of what i'm describing

 

close-up..

my normal view...

you can see - the symbology is "tight" (close together) and difficult to discern clearly and easily

Just tested and I see exactly what you mean. If you have a steady Pitch rate as you pass 25degrees nose up or down the HUD pitch ladder movement slows down quite noticeably even though Aircraft pitch rate and pitch rate change on the ADI remain constant. Its weird because even though the HUD pitch ladder rate changes it still accurately reflects aircraft pitch attitude ???

 

Its repeatable every time.

Up to the 30 degree mark the pitch ladder has a mark every 5 degrees.

From 30 degrees onwards it´s only a mark every 10 degrees but as the distance between the marks stays the same it "seems" to slow down.
