r4y30n Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 So I was doing the bear escort mission last night and got hit with, I'm guessing, an R-60. Lost the right engine and apparently the whole INS. The VDI horizon disappeared, HSI froze, the HUD lost most symbology and I lost all radar function. I've been looking through the manual and various guides but the question I can't find an answer to is can the AWG-9 be pointed to the backups like the BDHI and standby attitude indicator or are you SOL at that point?
sLYFa Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 VDI and HUD should automatically fall back to AHRS in case of an INS failure. If you completely loose VDI/HUD you have more damage than just an INS failire. i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
r4y30n Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 That's what I figured, thanks. Wonder what broke if the actual backup instruments work...
sLYFa Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 if the actual backup instruments work... The standby attitude indicator has its own gyro independent from the AHRS. Did the BDHI still show the correct heading? Because if not, this means the AHRS is gone too (which is what I get most of the time after being hit by a missile). i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
r4y30n Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Yeah, BDHI was functioning normally including TACAN.
