Stripes on the HUD

[JohnathanWinters]

Sorry if already posted, can't find this anywhere. What are those 4 lines at the bottom of my HUD?

Bad info, applies to Harrier, not Mirage

[JohnathanWinters]

Got ya, thanks.

It indicates an problem with the aircraft, I think the cases is shows up are in the manual.

[Ramsay]

Got ya, thanks.

Sorry, I'm mistaken (been flying the Harrier).

 

Razbam's manual says on page 94

HUD Ground

2. MASTER CAUTION / WARNING. Visible if any of the Caution / Warning lights is

still on. This symbol will also be visible in flight.

 

So perhaps you had a caution lamp on ?

This lines are showed after landing too, somebody know what test will do for clean it?

 

After a new takeoff the lines disappears.

 

What is your alarm panel telling you ?

 

If it's the red DECOL it means that something is wrong with your aircraft and that it's preventing take-off. If the alarm goes on as you land the front gear it's most likely that you need to reset the trim for take-off.

To do so you need to double tap the autopilot standby button.

 

If you don't want to trigger the alarm, double tap the autopilot standby button at the end of your aero-breaking maneuver when you let go of the stick to land the front gear. If you do it while aero-breaking you will have to ajust your stick to the new trim setting, resulting in oscillation or early nose gear landing or even tail strike :).

 

I think this is not how it's supposed to be, but it's how I make it work for the moment.

Thanks, What is the standby button? I have double tap timmers in left panel but nothing happens.

 

:doh:

 

My bad I was not attentive enough when I answered you, I was talking about the autopilot standby button.

 

I'm correcting it, tell me if it makes more sense now :).

I think there’s another way to reset trimming, perhaps by switching FCS or AP reset on the rear left panel too. But using the ap stby is probably the easiest, or just recklessly ignoring the strippes.

By doing those things you are not "only" reseting the trim, proper way to reset trim is double tap on autopilot standby.

Clearly. Just like IRL.

 

or just recklessly ignoring the strippes.

Why ignoring a failure/abnormal situation indication?

Want to die/respawn young?

[JohnathanWinters]

It was the Trim, thanks.
