The main attitude indicator has a tendency to drift off after heavy maneuvering, just like the standby indicator. However, the horizon bar shown on the radar screen is always correct.

According to the manual, both are fed from the AHRS system so they should indicate the same pitch/bank.

Geeeez, I would think that if the attitude indicator is being fed it's information from an AHRS, there would be no drift or lag. I could certainly understand a mechanical gyro doing that but not a solid state gyro.

The main ADI still has an accuracy of a backup vacuum gyro.

Progress, in the latest open beta all three attitude indicators are equally unrealiable. :doh:

I don't know if this is a bug or the actual F-5E have this issue, the attitude indicator will become inaccurate after some maneuvers, even you made a shallow continuous bank on one side for a while the attitude indicator will incline...

Old instruments do drift, you have a fast erect button next to the ADI should you wish to correct it; just note that the photo posted looks about right, ADI consistent with visual horizon and radar horizon. The standby horizon is left caged in the photo? There is a red flag showing.

You mean a Gyro drift! If a horizon instrument hooks up...you stay in the ground...

If you are still on the ground and you have a choice, then yes, of course.

 

In our example I believe it happens after airborne, quite often too.

While the attitude indicator can get inaccurate after heavy maneuvering, the one we currently have in F-5 is pretty bad. It has exactly the same error rate as the backup ADI, which, obviously, wouldn't happen in real life.

Well, it might be a problem, but the back up ADI needs to be uncaged!

 

Gyro drift under heavy manoeuvreing is definitely something to be aware of. As for both instruments having identical errors - clearly not true to prototype. I'd like to test it a little more before I come to a conclusion on that. Would we go as far as declaring it a bug? I believe they behave as totally separate entities in the A-10C, so it should be possible in the F-5E3 as well. So yes, I would see that as a problem.

It's still the same, at least in 1.5.6. Just make one 180 turn or Immelman after take off, and the ADI becomes erratic. Which is more annoying is that if the pitch information is wrong, then the radar antenna is not levelled correctly.

 

Funny though, netiher L-39 or MiG-21 have this issue, despite being equipped with a simpler AGD-1 gyro horizon instead of integrated AHRS unit like F-5.

You know el. gyro-motor of the attitude indicators needs some time to spin up after start up? Are you giving it enough time to spin up to working condition? My F-5 startups usually last about 10 min since switching battery on with all the checks and so and I have never had problems with attitude indicators.

I have experienced the same issue both on 1.5 and 2.1.

Main attitude indicator, backup ADI and radar antenna becomes inaccurate after several minutes of flight.

Horizontal, high AoA maneuvers seems to generate the error faster.

Maybe it's supposed to be like this, but it doesn't make it less annoying.

They all, AFAIK, get information from the same gyro.

Someone correct me if i am wrong.

Still not fixed :( Just tried, and even during a normal traffic pattern with 30° AOB turns the attitude indicator is wrong after touchdown. Pitch error of 8° after nosewheel touchdown.
