TDC-psic-rwysnthetic

[pierreaf]

Hello

I continue learning and appreciate this beautiful bird. But some technical questions have no answers for me...

First : tdc button how and when do you use Mode s or z? I see no differences.

And How do operate the Target mémory Time selector Switch?

Same with the psic aa radar sst button selector.

And How and Where to enter the minimum altitude, ex to fly on ils and enter the mini altitude to make a goaround

And finally i fly an ils with all indications ok except the synthetic runway. I Ve read the manuel,Chuck tuto and read à lot on the web. But the synthetic rwy never appear. I don't know what I am doing false. I put in the ins a point with the coordonates of the runaway in lat and long. I Ve read we have to enter runway heading and slope in the ins. But what format and how to save it in the ins. I Ve try to entre ex: 340. 3 for heading 340 deg and 3 degrés slope but doesn't save it..

Sorry for so many questions but I am so fan of dcs and the m2000. But I am just at the beginning of a rookie s virtual pilot Life!

Thanks for help and have nice flights on the 2000.

Regards,

Pierre

Hi there.

 

For the TDC mode S or Z change the way your scanning altitude is displayed, either max and min alt or middle alt.

I think a lot of the Radar panel button are not yet working.

For go around altitude I don't think there is such thing, you can have a floor altitude that is set with the switches and the rotary on the right of the HUD controls.

For the synthetic runway you have the place a landing waypoint in the editor to have it displayed, for the moment you can't have the synthetic runway with a "in plane" created waypoint.

 

As a side note if you are really interested in the 2000 you better fly with a squadron or a group of players, air air is much much better when you are not alone ;-).

Hello myhelljumper

Thanks so much for the quick reply and help

It's help me a lot and it's more clear for me.

Thanks for the proposition of flying a squadron and school. I've watch your website it's great. But I haven't enough time at the moment in the evening.its time for my family. I put you in my favorites for the future. Sure I will think about that.

Have nice flights !

No problems, and in most squadrons you don't have to fly a lot, only a couple hour a week, so give it a try ;-)

Hello

Just for information does the cp/pd in the ins is operational? And How? What format? Do I enter 340.3 for the runway 34 and glide slope 3 deg? And How i save it in the ins?

Thanks in advance for help

Have nice flights!

It is of no use for now, wait for it to be fixed ;-)

Ish?

 

You can absolutely enter in the CP/PD info for a waypoint. Last checked you can attempt a number such as 3.2 or 359.9 but the input will be rounded to an integer on entry. You simply select the waypoint to edit as the 2-digit PREP number (not 00), turn the dial to the CP/PD position and enter with the digit pad (using the + or - buttons to select which half of the display you wish to edit first). If you know how to edit a waypoint's coordinates, altitude, desired time, etc. you know how to edit its CP/PD values.

 

Unfortunately the synthetic runway is only possible for waypoints which are designated as landing type in the mission editor. In future it will be possible for the INS to enable synthetic runway display regardless of the ME flight plan construction, presumably turning on when based on the values entered (not zeros). I'm guessing considering how the rho-theta offset works that if you enter CP 000.0 the feature will be off and CP 000.1 through 360.0 will be on and to use that value.

 

Page 92 of the manual has information about the format. It is in tenths of degrees (magnetic) for CP and tenths of degrees (0-90°) for PD.

 

What I don't understand is what indications the pilot will see if he entered CP/PD that do not match the real ILS localizer course and GS angle. I think that it is a requirement that you enter in a PD which is equal to the ILS GS angle to get a correct synthetic runway display. The synthetic runway display requires ILS formation to be received to display. The INS alone is not accurate enough.

 

I also don't know if the CP/PD data serves any purpose in the absence of full ILS and synthetic runway use.

Thanks so much for these good explanations.

It's become a little more clear in my little head!!!

In fact PD isn't displayed in the HUD when the ILS is captured.

So it's more useful when you don't use ILS by displaying _ _ on PD value (glide path).

 

CP wil display a | on the horizon to visualize the runway heading.

 

 

Today airliners have HUD, with synthetic display, heading scale displayed on horizon.

But in mid 1980' M-2000 ILS HUD display was in advance.

Very interesting.
