HUD Airspeed Values


-Zero-

Recommended Posts

Hi every one, I saw in a lot of photos and videos of F-16 HUD's showing the airspeed in dozens (?) like:

150 as 15.

 

Is this something that I can toggle or specific of one Block/Model?

 

Thanks!

It would depend on the HUD and the software version.

 

Do you have any links for the "lots of photos and videos" showing the airspeed scale that way?

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

All the videos are looking old, maybe it's from a old software version.

The "analog tape" variants show speed like you said. The DCS variant has the "digital box" in the middle of the tape is the 3 digit digital variety. The analog tape which surrounds (above/below) the digital box is still in 10s of knots.

 

The scales can be decluttered to full (box + tape) or just the digital boxes by the scales HUD remote control panel switch.

 

The videos linked are from earlier tape-only F-16s. I don't think it's possible to have only the analog tape with no digital boxes in the DCS variant in any mode or preference configuration.

Old HUD software, could not tell version, but USAF manuals have not mention that gun symbology (LCOS, SSLC) since the 1990. Also, if the audio is to be trusted, this would be a different F-16 that what we have in DCS.

Different country, not sure when they updated their software
