Lao Fei Mao Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Bascially I'm a casual player and addicted to russian jets. Recently I tried the American F-15C, seems easier control than the Su-27 PFM. And I got a noob question---I can't find the designated altitude indicator on HUD or Instruments(but Flanker do have it), only the designated bearing on the upper scale of HUD. Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks ahead.
Exorcet Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 This is kind of a game manual question, but the altitude is on the right of the HUD in feet.

WildBillKelsoe Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 the altitude youre supposed to fly in is denoted on ADI in the form of horizontal yellow line (altitude caret) like the A-10C uncaged ADI glideslope. There is however one very important shortcoming with the F-15C; you cant change the altimeter setting like the Su-27. This means that youre flying MSL most of the time or AGL but not flexibly both.

I can't figure out why it doesn't show on the HUD altitude scale, whilst the designated bearing mark does. A real shortcoming.
Sweep Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 A real shortcoming. Not really... Briefings are your friend...And notes, lots of notes. Lord of Salt
DarkFire Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Not really... Briefings are your friend...And notes, lots of notes. I guess in reality a pilot would have desired altitudes & times marked on their knee board notebook as a backup reference.
