CBStu Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 I am on the 3d mission in campaign Measured Imperative. This campaign is strict on times which I enjoy working with but...I can not find a way to get the correct time to display until in the air. I can't get any time in the hud. There is a time display below the fuel gauge which shows a time but it is not correct. So far I have managed to get through missions 1 and 2 because there is a specific time to cross WP2 but I do it by circling for 20 minutes or so somewhere before WP2. Help please.
Solution rob10 Posted December 9, 2022 Solution Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) IIRC HUD won't display time with weight on wheels. The time on the IFEI (fuel gauge instruments) time starts in LOCAL time. Hit the ZONE button in the middle between it to change it to ZULU time (marked with Z to the right of it). The HUD ONLY shows ZULU and can't be changed from that. Measured Imperative uses ZULU which is why the time in your IFEI is "wrong" (it's not, it's just showing you local time rather than Zulu). By the way, it's well worth digging into the Time On Target (TOT) functions in the nav system and learning how to use them for this campaign.

CBStu Posted December 9, 2022 Author Posted December 9, 2022 Thankyou Rob. I thought maybe it was a time zone thing because I noticed that the minutes part of the two displays matched. I will look into the TOT stuff. I have been using airspeed of 360 = 6 miles/per minute to try to come out of a circle and pass over a WP on time. That works reasonably well but since I am never sure when to launch from the carrier I often circle for 20 min to make a WP time. I figure I should sit on the carrier for 15 of those 20 min.

Thanks for the correction. Hoggit Wiki incorrectly indicates you can't display Local on HUD. Test it, looks like you have to manually set local (EFEI has it automatically set at start of mission) but it does display it on the HUD (albiet with no indication if you're in ZULU or LOCAL).
