fixed ADI slowly drifting

[Khallimero]

After a quite long ferry flight (1+ hour), I just noticed that the ADI was slowly drifting, so that at one point it was completely upside down.

 

Edit : oups, should have posted that under "bugs and problems".

Don't know how to move it...

Wrong section

Top right one in your image there is the standby indicator, which will drift over time.

Idea is when you're in level flight/hover/ground, you hold in (I think) Right mouse button on the uncaging knob bottom right of the standby ADI, which slowly sets it to reflect your current conditions as 'level' flight, ideally matching your ADI just to the left of your IT-23 screen.

 

 

I guess it's just because it's the standby indicator, for when the main instrument is trashed, that it's operating off different measurements so that there is a backup, albeit not as accurate.

Hi

 

The SAI drift has been reported, the drift is to much currently.

 

I have no ETA on this tweak however.

 

thank you

Han... to me, it was more like a bottom heavy ball into a liquid filled sphere. So I expected it to don't drift at all.

But as it actually requires electrical power to work, it must use some kind of gyroscopic effect. So it may drift over time.

 

Note : I was talking about the SAI, not the ADI. (I guess I flew the A-10C too much these days)

Most ADI have a mechanism to correct drift over time.
