Guest deeplodokus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi, This is on 1.5.2.49392. Let's take the following situation: I'm following a waypoint, say WP3, with the WP indication (WP number and distance, bottom right of HUD) and bearing indicated on the HUD. I drop a fuel tank, so for that I turn on the main PCA button, drop my tank, turn off the main PCA button. After that, the WP bearing is still indicated on the HUD, but the WP indication (WP number and distance) is not indicated at the bottom right of the HUD anymore. To get it back I need to fiddle a bit with the PCA buttons (e.g. go into APP then exit APP). Is that a bug, or is that expected? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEADBEEF Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Did you switch off Master Arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeplodokus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Did you switch off Master Arm? yes I drop a fuel tank, so for that I turn on the main PCA button, drop my tank, turn off the main PCA button as a precision: turn on main PCA/master arm, open the jettison cover, switch the jettison, select tank, jettison tank, unswitch jettison, uncover jettison cover, turn off main PCA/master arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I had the exact same problem happen to me the other day, which now makes me wonder if maybe this only happens when dropping tanks? Have you also tried after firing weapons? I have not had a chance to try it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbak Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Same here....I get that after deploying weapons as well. I can't get back to NAV. I thought it was something I was doing incorrectly.

ckelly14 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Same here- was practicing bombing yesterday. Dropped all my GBU's, turned off Master but no distance or waypoint info on the HUD. However, the waypoint carat was still on the compass rose and the DME on the HSI still shows the distance, so not a big deal. I also noticed "IE" was flashing on the left side of the HUD. I will say that ILS markings did show up with gear down and approach selected. Perhaps a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxzouz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Usually when I switch back the master arm. The HUD indicates POL. I just have to use the 'cannon' button mapped on my hotas to go back to normal NAV.

Guest deeplodokus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 thanks for the replies, good to know I'm not the only one! doesn't mean it's a bug though, it might be intended behaviour. I said I go into APP and out, but it might be that I pressed the gun button, I can't remember, I'll try again later and report (if I don't forget... :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeplodokus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 hey. yeah that's right, it's the gun button (bottom left button of the PCA) that needs to be pushed to get the NAV indications on the HUD back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
