HUD pitch ladder alignement

[sedenion]

Hi,

Sorry if that was already reported, but I did'nt find any mention of this since now.

Is that normal the HUD pitch ladder is visually so misaligned from the "visible" pitch ? I know the hud is very small and maybe this is intended, but here, there is really a huge gap and as it is, it act more like an ADI drawn on the HUD than an usual pitch ladder.

Just like the F-14 it might just be an HSI displayed in front of the windscreen. Though the Tomcats FPV is actually displayed in relation to the real horizon.

 

I bet it seemed like a good idea during design when most aircraft only had a gun sight in the field of view.
