bonesvf103 Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 So when you are in TWS-A and you are supposed to steer the T so that it is centered. I've noticed that if I have it centered in the VDI, in the HUD it is not centered. It is usually off to one side. So why is that and which center T should you go with? This is with barely any maneuvering as well, but I would think the HUD and the VDI would show the T in the same place, right? v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

some1 Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Currently bugged, but Heatblur guys said its fixed for the next update. Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro
bonesvf103 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Posted May 6, 2020 OK, thanks! Which one should I follow for now? VDI or HUD? v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day. I would have 80 pounds of flesh to eat and a pair of glasses to start a fire." --F/A-18 Hornet pilot
r4y30n Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 The steering T should match the steering centroid on the TID, whichever one matches it is the right one.
Raubritter Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 The steering T should match the steering centroid on the TID, whichever one matches it is the right one. Is not always. depend on RIO set. CLSN button - Button with indication used to select collision steering towards tracked target or TWS centroid. (HB manual)
Sublimearrepentido Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 My advice is the VDI Only because when they added that rio function to help pikots land they said the hud had a slight delay and the VDI processed fastest (good ol 70s tech) So I think in everything the VDI is slightly more "on point"
bonesvf103 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Posted May 7, 2020 To help them, land? You mean in general? Because I was talking about steering for keeping Phoenix targets within the radar scan. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

sublime Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I mean in general The new feature lasf added that solely had to do with the RIO being able to see ILS.needles. HB pointed out the VDI was the fastest the HUD had a slight lag. It stands to reason the same would work in a case with qir to air no? I know your post was abt phoenixes btw. Im saying they said the VDI was updated the hud was behind
sublime Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 So what Im saying is Id trust your VDI unless visually it looks ****ed
bonesvf103 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 Yeah from what I've seen the VDI seems to be the most reliable. I find it interesting since the RIO does most of the navigating that he has no control over the OBS to select the course for the TACAN or WP or anything in his HSI repeater. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Sublimearrepentido Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I think alot of this would make way more sense if we trained navy and ALWAYS flew REAL and 2 man aircraft I mean if backseat ALWAYS is doing radio with your RIO and navigatimg maybe he was too busy. Maybe it was a genuine oversight but not that important because IRL the guy can not only ask to you switch he can say "switch so I can look, then goto this so i can do d, then i feel like y, btw what is your opinion? Except as a team for months so its said in 5 words. We will never have anything near that. Some DCS players may near the hours in ALLL airframes flown but in any one type? And even so its still not real life. DCS is close but would YOU trust a dcs player with your life and get in the RIO seat? I wouldnt
