Flagrum Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 The declutter switch of the HUD seems to be only doing something if in A2A mode. It then removes everything except the aiming reticle (only briefly tested with guns). In A2G mode (again, just tested for guns), it does nothing. Is that supposed to be like that or is this just WIP/a bug? It would actually help quite a bit, if the FPM would not obscure the target at times, for example ... :-) But I also found that the switch acts as if spring loaded: you have to hold the switch in the "declutter" position or otherwise it would disengage immediately. This seems to be clearly a bug - performing attack runs one-handed is not exactly easy. :-D

some1 Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Strange. What is the reasoning behind that? More likely that in reality the declutter feature has several submodes that you cycle with every switch click. That's how it often works in other airplanes.

That's how it often works in other airplanes. ^^ This, or there is an electric circuit holding it in place that is tied to D/F mode or master arm or something like that. When master arm is disengaged or D/F is exited the switch jumps back into its default position. Pure speculation from my side, but A-10, F-5 and F-15, just to name a few, has some switches that works in that way. Then again, maybe it actually works this way..?
