bop1701 Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 In the HUD, the Velocity Vector and Pitch Ladder becomes displaced to one side or another (left or right of centerline, to various amounts of offset). I first notice it flying when the HUD's uncaged. When caged, it centers the VV but then there is a new symbol (the three lines of the VV without the center circle, a 'ghost VV'(?)). The symbology is accurate as the Hornet's flight path is slipping in that direction. Very obvious close to the ground or trying to land. See pics The error is with the heading system (AHRS/INS?). The lateral displacement is heading dependent; the amount varies based on heading, and turning through 180 degrees will move it from left to right or vice versa. Its like a type of misalignment It happens in both cold/hot missions that start on the ramp, and ones that start in the air; even in training missions starting in the air, where I did not perform the startup and assume the sim set everything up correctly. I see no external damage and the FCS page shows nothing either. On cold starts, I usually do the Stored Heading when aligning the INS to save time, and figured I was doing something wrong. I wait til the '0.5 OK' appears and the 'INS DGRD' is gone - completing the 90 second alignment. But it also happens after the full 8 minute alignment. IFA (In Flight Alignment?) doesn't fix it. It's been there from after takeoff, and has also appeared after maneuvering. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough, and now it happens when I didn't do the start up, so I'm at a loss. Will INS IFA fix this over time? Is there a reset? I've hit the trim reset button and it doesn't do anything for the issue. If you have any help I'd appreciate it, and thanks again. Merry Christmas!

MARLAN_ Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Looks like probably wind as BN mentioned (in which case this is normal behavior) Edited December 23, 2022 by MARLAN_ Virtual CVW-8 - The mission of Virtual Carrier Air Wing EIGHT is to provide its members with an organization committed to presenting an authentic representation of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing operations in training and combat environments based on the real world experience of its real fighter pilots, air intercept controllers, airbosses, and many others.
Solution CBStu Posted December 23, 2022 Solution Posted December 23, 2022 Looks normal to me for a crosswind. When you cage it, it moves to the center which makes viewing easier for some things. But there is also a reference provided so you know there is a cross wind. If you do a straight-in approach to a runway w/ a crosswind, you use the reference symbol to line yourself up to the runway.
bop1701 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Posted December 23, 2022 Its just a crosswind?!?! Good grief... Thanks guys....ugh Merry Christmas yall!
