Instrument inertia

[amalahama]

Wouldn't be cool if cockpit's gauges had some inertia?

 

Example: when switching waypoints, range indicator change instantaneously, or when overflying a waypoint, the course indicator moves at light-speed rates.

 

I've seen inertia modeled on Hornet and the A-10C gauges, if HB is craving for maximum authenticity, they should implement it into the Vig and the Tomcat as well.

This is something that has always bothered me a bit when flying the Viggen (and RAZBAMs modules as well IIRC), although not enough to make a request.

Uh, the Tomcat has modeled inertia in all gauges and rollers and the Viggen should too (in most). Which gauges do not have inertia currently?

[Agremont]

The yellow course indicator around the radar seems to move straight to the new heading without any inertia or traveling when a new waypoint is selected.

 

 

 

I don't really know how these things work in real life though but it seems too fast to me.

Uh all gauges in viggen has inertia. Try slowing down the game and you'll see it. Some instruments are really fast though like the compass caret and this was based on videos of it moving iirc. This is kinda suprprising to me to read since I think this has been something that really made Viggen stand out... Havent people noticed this at all ?

[amalahama]

The range to next waypoint indicator for example changes instantaneously, or at least it looks like that. Also the course to next wp yellow marker moves unrealistically fast when overflying waypoints. The others are difficult to tell since changes are smoother

[RagnarDa]

Ok I can just up the inertia of those two instruments then.

 

 

Edit: you know what, the inertia values for the compass caret looks funky. Thanks for the report!

Yeah it's just when it changes waypoint it just sort of "snaps" to the new position.

Thanks! Have a look to ADI FD bars and fuel striped gauge too.
