mwlue Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I'm not sure if it is a bug or because of the classic electronics on the cat. I have a couple occasions that I lost the HUD readings / VDI or both when i made high G maneuvers, i don't remember the G number but high enough to shake the cat. Sometimes they will restore awhile after is ease off the stick, sometimes they lost forever. I thought the shaking brake the electronics?? Last night I did some play fight with a mig-28 and again lost the VDI when I was pulling some Gs. Then I realize the FPM was gone when I switch the HUD to landing mode.... Any of you encounter this? :joystick:
shagrat Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Structural limit for the Tomcat is 6.5 G. Though you can pull more, at higher G (9+) you brake things, like the INS. Sometimes the turbines... Even if the INS was not totally destroyed, it ofte isn't reliable any more.
