Cmptohocah Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 On one of the MiG-29 cockpit videos, I came a cross something really strange on the HDD (Head Down Display) and I am wondering if anyone has an idea or information on what it might b? I am talking about that little green line on the right side of the screen, between the bank indicator and the right-hand side vertical line that sits below the altimeter reading. I think the MiG is in EOS mode, since there are letters "TП" displayed. It might be an indicator of a target, since there is an aircraft off to its 2 o'clock position, but it definitely does not look like the in-game horizontal target index "--" Here's the link to the video with the timestamp: https://youtu.be/z-aOSJY2_g8?t=144 Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH
shishkin Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I bet it's a target mark in IRST scan mode. There is also clutter filtering mode (ПП).

FoxAlfa Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Since it is TP mode I would say it is heat mark from the fighter ahead to the right. But maybe@Fighter29 can help you here? ------- All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation. Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a bit you realize the pig likes it. Long time ago in galaxy far far away: https://www.deviantart.com/alfafox/gallery
BlackPixxel Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Later in the video he is even putting the cursor box over it, so it is propably the target mark. FC3 aircraft are from older days where the game did not have as much ambitions to be as accurate as the newer modules, so it is no suprise that the HUD / HDD representation is not realistic. There are many other parts missing or incorrect about the HUD in the MiG-29/Su-27. There should be the two guidance rings that you may know from ILS landings to guide the pilot into the proper engagement position for the target, Su-27 should show a visual representation of the time left until the currently flying missile hits the target, OLS has different FOV options and different cursor shapes etc. etc. etc. 1
