dynasty Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Hello, I'm having issues when landing in bad weather conditions with the M2000C. When choosing the spring/thunderstorm weather preset from the mission editor, the crosswinds seem to be that strong, that all the information on the HUD disappear on either left or right side of the HUD. (however, mostely left) So, I have no chance to perform a safe ILS approach as all the important information like speed, altitude, pitch ladder, brackets and flight path marker, as well as ILS information move to one side until they are not visible anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to bring the information back to the center of the HUD? An ILS approach by using ADI and other instruments only does not seem to be the right way to perform it safely, does it? Thanks a lot for help!
Frederf Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 HUD isn't a primary instrument flight reference anyway. A qualified pilot can do an instrument approach and landing with it turned off.
dynasty Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks for reply, however it does not really answer my question. From your answer I understand, that I'm not doing anything wrong but that this is normal, right? So, in such a situation, an approach has do be done using instruments only.

From your answer I understand, that I'm not doing anything wrong but that this is normal, right? So, in such a situation, an approach has do be done using instruments only. As far as i know, the 2000 is like any other occidental aircraft in this case, the pitch ladder is linked to the velocity vector ( --o-- ), the velocity vector shows you where your aircraft is going despite the nose direction... with strong crosswind, the velocity vector has a severe shift to left or right ( depending relative wind direction ). All useful indications like bracket and ILS flight path, are linked to the velocity vector, since you must align the velocity vector with these data... Then, you understand that in fact, this Left/Right shift IS a precious data, it show you the true trajectory of your aircraft. the problem is: when the crosswind is so strong that this true trajectory is out of HUD field of view.... there is nothing to do here i think... anyway, this mean you will sweat a lot, because you are attemping a landing with the worst possible conditions. :) Edited July 11, 2016 by sedenion
baltic_dragon Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I think using the rudder pedals might help in this case, as it might move the nose closer to direction in which your aircraft is going.

Sure, but when you want to align to a runway for landing, you usually precisely wants to COUNTER the crosswind (to keep a straight line), so you aggravate this shift :)

sedenion Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Well, technically in the current implementation the ladder does not use the FPM as the rotation point. don't understand here... which relationship between FPM (Feet Per Minute ?) and pitch ladder ?
Gliptal Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 don't understand here... which relationship between FPM (Feet Per Minute ?) and pitch ladder ?FPM stands for Flight Path Marker, known as TVV (total velocity vector) as well.
sedenion Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 FPM stands for Flight Path Marker, known as TVV (total velocity vector) as well. Ok ! yes... i think the ladder is linked to any Jy velocity, but it's just a guess...
