Tiger-II Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Hi, I can pull-to-cage the standby horizon on the ground, no issues. In flight though...nothing. It won't cage. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Open Beta 2.5. Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

dolfo Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Make sure miniature aircraft position relative to horizon bar is zero before pulling.
Tiger-II Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 Hmm interesting... It might seem there is a bug here then. Imagine the situation: after hard maneuvering, the ADI has toppled. Because it is no longer zero'd, it is preventing it from caging? This should not be the case - it should cage regardless. The knob for adjusting the aircraft in the ADI is centered the whole time (works on the ground fine).

dolfo Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 ...it should cage regardless. ... It does. Just find the original position that would be zero if the standby horizon was upright. In short, turn the knob until you can pull to cage. It works even if toppled.
Frederf Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 The knob motion has a sort of "H" shape. You can turn it when it's pulled out in the cage position or the uncage position but it has to be in the center of rotation to move between. There is a spring so the knob will fall into the dashboard when it is aligned and tension is not held with the hand. To set it in the caged position without holding it must be rotated to alignment, pulled, and then turned to either side out of alignment.
Tiger-II Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 I'll try it again but I'm fairly sure I did not rotate it after caging it on the ground.
