[REPORTED] Divergence between HUD Displayed Rate of Climb and Standby Gauge.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Since last update to 2.54, HUD is displaying half the rate of climb that the standby steam gauge is showing.....

 

From the usual speed and pitch, standby is correct and HUD is wrong.

 

EDIT: Discrepancy valid on both PG and Caucasus.

Good thing i found your post, i just did my first carrier pattern after a few months out the sim, and as i was in the groove i've i was about -300ish RoD and on glideslope, i was « euh, am i missing something or what » :)

What in the world? That’s game breaking for me. No big deal though, it’s holiday season, I’ll just wait another month to play again.

 

Really? that HSI in the hud is off and you can't fly?

It's hard to do proper CASE I/II/III recoveries when the HUD VVI is giving you inaccurate info. You're supposed to hit very specific descent rates at very specific points. Not being able to do that is a game-breaker.

Yeah. It would seriously mess up my carrier landings. But again, no big deal. Plenty of stuff to fly with in DCS.

I know, but you have a backup that works and surely if you’ve been practicing any of these landings you should have got a feel for speed and pitch angle and not just VS? Do some of that piloting stuff and figure it out ;). Working around problems improves your flying ability.

 

A good rule of thumb is that a 3 degree descent will descend 1000ft in 3 miles, how long that will take (your VS) will depend on how fast you fly it.
