HMD - Question re a value displayed

[Toni Carrera]

Hi Fellow Pilots,

 

I just want to ask what the -22 value is in the attached image. As I move my head up, the value reduces until I am looking at the heading tape where is is +0

 

Anybody able to assist?

Vertical angle -22 degrees down… I think

Correct, it's the JHMCS viewing elevation.

Thank you for your answers

 

Sorry, I did not word my question correctly. What I meant was, is there a way to centre the values? I have carried out several HMD align through the BIT menu, as well as 'Align' and 'Fine'  through the appropriate options on the DDI, but still the values remain as is where '+0' is way up on the Heading Tape

 

Does that make sense in terms of what I am asking?

You want a +0 when you look staight ahead. That's not possible currently. The head position in the hornet is somewhat different than in other modules as well, but even in Wags' own HMD alignment video you will see that looking ahead at the HUD has him looking at a value of aroud -15°
 

 

That's just how it is, atm.

Yeah the default non-head tracking view will point you a little bit below the HUD. Its not really an issue to just recentre your track-ir type device to wherever you want it though.
