whiggy Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Hello to all! After a carrier departure and making some turns, I get an hud offset in my hornet: Can anybody help and say why this will occur?

Solution Jetguy06 Posted May 4, 2021 Solution Posted May 4, 2021 As said above, it's due to crosswind. Pressing the Cage/Uncage button on the throttle will cage the HUD, centering the symbology, and you will get a second velocity vector. You'll have the normal one which will be caged in your HUD, plus an extra "ghost velocity vector" which will not be caged and will show your true velocity. It's highly advised to uncage your HUD in the groove so you can get an accurate representation of your aircraft's velocity for lineup. 2
CarloVecchi Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 I´m picking up this threat, cause i have a such a thing too. But in my bombsight, when i wanna manually drop bombs. Happens only, when I landed, shut down, refuel & rearmed and restartet. Hope someone can help me...

Or does it happen when you are flying a Hornet without GPS available? If it's the second one, then it's a bug awaiting a fix. If neither, give more infos... Edited August 17, 2022 by razo+r

I create a normal mission with the hornet, only special thing is that I´ve removed the helmet visior. Will test later today again and take some screens.

That the date of the mission has been set to a date when GPS was not available yet, so your Hornet relies on INS only. 4 hours ago, CarloVecchi said: Will test later today again and take some screens. Sounds good. Might aswell save the track just in case.

CarloVecchi Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Ok testet it again. oce with GPS available and once before GPS (1992) Both same result (see pic). I also have the feeling, that in manual mode the bombs (MK82, MK83 & MK84) fly a bit of the target cross (left) No wind...
razo+r Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) That's the INS drift bug. Doing an INS update should temporarily correct it. To completely remove the issue, you need to wait for a fix from ED....... 11 minutes ago, CarloVecchi said: Ok testet it again. oce with GPS available and once before GPS (1992) Both same result (see pic).

Tholozor Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) @CarloVecchi You have a 'P/INS' advisory on your ADV line, this is telling me that you actually do have GPS available, and the INS knob should be set to IFA. But ultimately, razo+r is correct, and CCIP symbology shouldn't be affected by INS drift in this manner.

CarloVecchi Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 Thanky for the Infos. I guess then I have 1st doing an INS update
CarloVecchi Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Thought it would be fixed with latest stable update, but the problem ist still there. Landing, shoting ac down, doing an autostart, then it is again offset. Maybe I haven´t got enough knowledge about the Hornet?
razo+r Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 This issue is over one year old. Hoping it would be fixed in the next patch is... useless to say the least. This big will most likely still be around for a year or more. (would love to be proven wrong though)
Lane Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) It is a bit bad it affect essentially the campaign mission as it make most of them unplayable for the most. I can imagine it is a bit a strange suprise for newcomer peoples who will like to make the campaign ( happend on second mission ofc with the BMP2 hunt ). i think it was corrected in the openbeta ?

Ladan Posted May 8 Posted May 8 I'm having the same issue with the F-16 in Georgia before take off, but in PG (Persian Gulf) no problems. Why is this? It's so weird. It's happened in the past as well with the F-18 too.

It can be wind, or an incompete INS alignement, or INS drift perhaps. Can you upload a short track? 1
Ladan Posted Thursday at 04:28 AM Posted Thursday at 04:28 AM You can see that it's off in this screenshot. The direction pointer isn't centered.
Muchocracker Posted Thursday at 05:42 AM Posted Thursday at 05:42 AM (edited) you're flying in cross wind. That is how the HUD is supposed to behave, the pitch ladder stays centered on the velocity vector unless you cage the HUD. Edited Thursday at 01:07 PM by Muchocracker 3

I don't have the problem with the F-18 or others though, it's only with the F-16 it seems. My dad has noticed the same issue from his end as well. Here are recent pictures of my HUD display. One from yesterday, one from the other day. I really don't think it's crosswind. Else it would occur with the other planes too, I'd think. Edited Saturday at 03:09 PM by Ladan
rob10 Posted Saturday at 05:49 PM Posted Saturday at 05:49 PM Listen to Muchocracker. Very high probability it's the wind. As you said previously above you've seen it with the F-18 before. CAGE your HUD and it will be in centre, uncage it and it will go back where you are showing in the pictures. It takes a fairly hefty crosswind to cause it. Try turning 90 degrees to your current heading and see if it's still that way. Only other likely reason would be something messed up with your INS alignment.

Else it would occur with the other planes too, I'd think. Well, easy to make sure if it's crosswind or not. You have wind information in the briefing screen. What's the wind listed there? As an alternative, in the main screen of the DED, if you flip the DCS switch to the right (to SEQ), you enable a wind readout below the STP line on your DED. If that doesn't say 0, you have wind.
