WildBillKelsoe Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 On returning from mission, I am in parameters for VTOL. I come to a complete stop (well 1,2,3.. 3,2,1 on the little S speed indicator in VTOL master mode as I balance out. However, the top left speed number on HUD opposite altitude numbers (be it Balt or Ralt) shows 15 and stays so in air, even as I am hovering without apparent speed changes. Shouldnt these numbers match during a hover? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
al531246 Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 That's because the speed in the top left is IAS, indicated air speed. This is the relative airspeed of the aircraft. The "S" speed is your ground speed. So if you're stopped in a 5 knot headwind your IAS will be 5, while your ground speed will be 0.

WildBillKelsoe Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 I have to run some more tests then because the winds were 3 m/s and the stable hover value was 15 knots airspeed.
