Astronut Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm new to the module so please forgive me for what might be a dumb question. When landing I have noticed that you can have the velocity vector indicating above the horizon line yet the aircraft is still sinking. I have noticed this mostly when I start to flare and I get a little slow, hence the sink. Has anyone else noticed this? What am I missing here?

hollowman8904 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I believe it's relative to your flight path indicator, not the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronut Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 If the indicator is above the 0º pitch line the airplane should be climbing. I'll do some more testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronut Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 ok, I think this is because the Flight Path marker/Velocity Vector doesn't have a non-conformal state (at this point in time). For example, in the F15C, the Flight Path marker flashes if the vector is somewhere outside where the HUD can display it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astronut Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks for the info CptSmiley. I'm still very green where the M2000C is concerned. I have a lot to learn but it's a really fun airplane to fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCU Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I also forgot to add, since it's been a while since we've been able to give you guys an update in development I have it fixed so that the APP mode has the correct FPM limits. I'll have to run vanilla DCS world but I believe the initial set of HUD improvements in the most recent update for you guys had incorrect FPM HUD movement limits in APP mode. I think it's the other way around. In the last update it's normal mode that has its limits a bit early up in the HUD. The FPM had it's limit about right in App mode, but the pitch ladder gets stuck on previous 'Normal mode' limits. I had sent you some images for reference. I have more clarifying images if you want, all info is from the video from the bug report thread. To clarify, it's normal mode that needs to have correct limits to be further downwards/deeper in the HUD (the exact position I had sent you in an image), app mode is deep enough but it should be equalled to norm mode (EDIT: After it gets fixed), just so that everything is unified. App mode and norm mode should be identical when it comes to pitch ladder & FPM. Edited September 3, 2016 by SCU added more clarification.. even I get confused sometimes when rereading my own posts :D.

Fox One Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The attached screenshot was made using current version while flying perfectly horizontal very low over sea. The horizon line is in a depressed position compared to the natural horizon, and the velocity vector is very slightly below it. Putting the incorrectly placed velocity vector precisely on the incorrectly placed horizon line, and the aircraft will slowly climb. It's a complete mess. And it's been like this since December. In this example, the horizon line and velocity vector should be overimposed on the natural horizon. After more than 8 months of "intense development" the result is that even HUD basics are not correct. What we have is: - horizon line position is inaccurate (the truth is, actually ALL pitch lines, except perhaps the +/-90 deg ones are inaccurate) - velocity vector position is inaccurate My DCS videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boagord Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yes, I confirm. It doesn't help for air refueling. Envoyé de mon XT1072 en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
