dresoccer4 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 another question, Harrier team. i don't remember seeing this secondary HUD reticle before the update (i could totally be wrong), but was curious what it was. the one WITHOUT the circle seems to register side slip and seems to be where the plane is actually going vs facing :pilotfly: [ATTACH]174371[/ATTACH] Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pman Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 hah then it's just me being oblivious. still curious the difference between the two reticles...? The secondary one only appears when the aircraft is sliding I found, for example in knife edge passes. It shows the trajectory of the aircraft I believe in a lateral slide Pman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That symbol is called the Ghost Velocity Vector marker (GVV). The aircraft Velocity Vector marker (VV) is caged laterally on all HUD modes, except AG. The GVV appears to show the lateral velocity vector component of the VV. This lateral velocity vector can be due by winds, maneuvering, etc. In the previous version, it wasn't working correctly and only appeared when the lateral velocity component was very high. In AG mode, the VV is uncaged so you can use it to correctly aim at ground targets. "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."
