MagicSlave Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Hi, what are possible causes for incorrect ADI / HUD pitch ladder attitude indications? I had my ADI and HUD pitch ladder starting to drift and showing incorrect attitude during my last flight. It was about 20-30 minutes after take off, without any violent maneuvering (I think max 2-2,5 G turns) and without taking any damage. No warning / caution lights on the Caution Light Panel. No error messages on CDU. EGI and EAC were on, NAV mode selected on ALIGN page, all normal. I tried to troubleshoot this in-flight for some 10-15 minutes, at which point the aircraft controls suddenly stopped working. I couldn't get even the cockpit stick, rudder or throttles moving, although I checked that they responded in the axis settings menu. Even switching to manual reversion mode did not help. What could be the cause of this behaviour, or have I encountered a bug? (Random failures were set to OFF in mission editor settings) Thanks!

Did you by chance save the track file after the flight? I use random failures, and the HUD is impacted by this from time to time. Several different things can contribute to this type of failure. Lost all EGI, HUD, right engine and various other systems on Saturday - required appropriate shutdown of systems (and engine), command inflight alignment to get HUD and EGI back online and waiting for right engine temperature to decrease enough to restart engine.
