oldpop Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Attempted an IMC flight during the day. Entering the overcast, I could no longer read the HUD (max brightness). In my FA18E there is a "HUE" control which turns the symbols to different colors, which make them readable. Is this a WIP:helpsmilie:
drPhibes Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 There is no such feature in the F/A-18C (and according to the NATOPS manual, the same goes for the 18E). The phosphor screen that the HUD symbology is projected from is monochromatic (single color). Different shades of green in raster scan mode (when displaying FLIR on the HUD) are generated by varying the intensity of the electron beam in the CRT.
