Majesco Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 hi guys, i'm having troubles with the F-15 control panel :( as on the Russian Su-27 control panel we can easy reconize when we turn Auto Altitude Stabilizer (H) & Auto Throttle (J) functions on, their indicators will be luminated. But on the F-15 dashboard, i can't find where their indicators located so don't know when those functions turned on or off, even with air-brake :cry: Another thing, can anyone here show me an image of the real working F-15C Head-up display (in Navigation mode) i wanna compare to F-15's HUD in LOFC, perhaps something is not correct, not sure ! :music_whistling: hope (real) F-15 pilots can help :doh:
S77th-GOYA Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 ED did not model any indicators for alt hold or auto-throttle for the F-15. The air brake indicator is barely visible in the bank of warning lights below and to the right of the fuel gauge.

Real F-15C HUD looks very similar, just some differences are there, related to steering indication, and some momentary commands in the lower portion of HUD.

So, how to know true airspeed & altitude exactly when doing air-refueling for the F-15C, we don't have information from tanker. Doing air-refueling for the Su-33 is much easier because all essential info displayed on top of the HUD (tanker's altitude & airspeed) about the F-15's control panel, when approaching the tanker, how to know when the Auto Altitude Stabilizer & Auto Throttle turned on (i always need F2 view mode to specify the airspeed in Kmph by watching the info bar at the bottom of screen). Moreover, the airbrake indicator is so difficult to see if not zoom in to the warning lights panel :cry:

S77th-GOYA Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Majesco, for refuelling, you can see the closure rate of you to the tanker. So basically, it's the relative difference in speeds.
Majesco Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 Majesco, for refuelling, you can see the closure rate of you to the tanker. So basically, it's the relative difference in speeds. what's the closure rate ? Is the distance from me to the tanker ? Is number 247.7 on top-left of the HUD indicated the closure rate in below pic What's the unit of measurement of closure rate ? If the unit of measurement is FOOT, the number 247.7 feet means distance = 82.5 meters to the tanker ?
