dresoccer4 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 i'm using Chuck's guide to practice landing, and the screenshots he uses of Approach Mode don't seem to look like mine. when i select Approach Moade, the entire top line of the HUD (airspeed, heading, waypoint, etc) drops down the middle of the HUD which makes things hard to see. is there a reason this is happening to me but not to Chuck? thanks!

Deano87 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Your HUD looks perfectly normal to me. Some people raise their seat so they can see better over the nose.

dresoccer4 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Your HUD looks perfectly normal to me. Some people raise their seat so they can see better over the nose. so the top line is supposed to drop down to the middle of the HUD, and you're supposed to raise your seat till it's back at the top of the HUD? is that the SOP?

Deano87 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don't know if that's the SOP but it's what I and lots of other people do. The landing attitude of the mirage is pretty extreme at times.

myHelljumper Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think it's SOP. In DCS it's needed if you want to see the runway at 14° AoA Helljumper - M2000C Guru Helljumper's Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK3rTjezLUxPbWHvJJ3W2fA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 so the top line is supposed to drop down to the middle of the HUD, and you're supposed to raise your seat till it's back at the top of the HUD? is that the SOP? Yes. The landing AoA is 14°. So rise the seat (or view point) until you can see the tip of Pitot tube down in the HUD.:thumbup: Mirage fanatic !

Vatikus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 It would been nice also to get the HUD fix for glideslope indication ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHelljumper Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) It would been nice also to get the HUD fix for glideslope indication ... It's linked to the PD parameter on the PCN Edit: My mistake, was thinking about the PCN and not the PCA.

Deano87 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) It's linked to the PD parameter on the PCA In APP mode it should appear though? Also what is the correct glideslope angle for the M2000? I know the Viper uses 2.5 degree approach if the airport allows it (obstructions etc) is the m2000 similar?

myHelljumper Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 In APP mode it should appear though? See edit, you would have to set the desired slope on the CP/PD parameter on the PCN for it to show in APP mode.

Deano87 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 See edit, you would have to set the desired slope on the CP/PD parameter on the PCN for it to show in APP mode. Ok. So is it currently possible within DCS? And are there any guides showing how to set that?

Vatikus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 In APP mode it should appear though? Indeed, and it does not in DCS. As for usual GS value... I only know that french use 3.7 for carrier landings. Not as solid info about mainland. Could be from 2.5-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
