[FIXED] AA mode HUD symbology doesnt work

[dorianR666]

AA mode symbology on HUD keeps appearing and disappearing randomly. ive been seeing this for at least half a year now. interesting that nobody has noticed it...

also note that the over-g symbology doesnt work either. manual says the wings should appear at 6+g but it appears at 2.5g in the video (1:13).

I wouldn't say it's random, as it only shows the HUD between around -10 and +10 degrees with the trigger in the safe position. Anything outside that range it's going to hide it, unless the trigger is unsafe..

 

I'm guessing you're flying with RB24s loaded, they have a G-limit of 2G, in-game it's closer to 2,8G or so. The 24J and the 74 have a limit at 6G, in-game 6,5G.

interesting

is the symbology disappearence in its entirety mentioned somewhere in the manual? i cant find it

 

 

When uncaged, the locked target will be indicated by the IR target ring (ITR). The ITR is restricted to ±6° horizontally and ±10 vertically on the HUD

page 356

it only talks about ITR being limited in vertical angle, not the other symbology.

 

Flashing “wings” in the HUD indicates that the G-limit (6 G) of the missile is exceeded

page 358

however on page 356 it mentions g-limit of explicitely only RB 24J/74, not the limit of RB 24. thats a bit confusing, thank you for that information.

I wouldn't say it's random, as it only shows the HUD between -10 and +10 degrees with the trigger in the safe position. .

but if thats expected behaviour, then it still doesnt work right.

angle of the plane at 0:42 is much more below the horizon than 0:48, yet in the first case the symbology is displayed and in latter it isnt.

its like its both pitch angle and G combined or something.

To prevent the hud from rapidly shutting on and off again it shuts down at +/- 15 degrees and starts again at +/- 12 degrees or something like that. I believe its aircrafts climb/dive angle and not pitch angle also.

i see, thanks for reply.

consider adding it to the manual though. as far as i know, this behaviour isnt mentioned and is kinda confusing.

Wait, are you in sidewinder fast-select mode? Saw that it only shuts down the HUD in nav and landing-mode but the code didn't check for sidewinder fast select mode. Fixed now. Thanks for the report!

Wait, are you in sidewinder fast-select mode?

yes, i should have mentioned it.

 

Fixed now.
