skeemo Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hi, how does it come, that sometimes the GroundSpeed in the HUD vanishes in "NAV"-mode ? So i only have the Max.Airspeed-Bar. I cannot reproduce, what i've done before, but sometimes it comes back after a while...
Maenniskopesten Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I get the same here, but I don't think its a bug. Probably has something to do with the chopper not able to give you correct data or something like that. [sIGPIC]https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/img/userbars/DCS_Ka-50_Pilot_UB09.gif[/sIGPIC]
docehrenhoefer Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Well, as far as I´ve been able to find that out, the ground speed measurement is somehow linked to the shkval. If you fly with low throttle, ground speed is not measureable and the shkval blacks out.... So, if you lose sight contact to the ground (of e.g. to the topside of a cloud layer) you don´t get your ground speed measured.
Ragtag Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Press targeting mode reset when your'e done attacking and the HUD should return to normal NAV including the speed. Works for me.

BaD CrC Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Yes. Once targeting computer resetted, air speed comes back on the HUD, but it is not immediate. No idea why. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
-Nighthawk- Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Yep targeting mode reset as mentioned above, kinda annoying when you want to try attack a target while getting the main flight statistics on the HUD.
Nate--IRL-- Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 My understanding is that if you happen to slow the Rotor RPM down enough the electrical systems go onto batteries momentarily, this knocks out the INS (as well as the SHKVAL), which takes a minute or two to recalibrate, and give ground speed on the HUD. Note you still have airspeed on the gauge and SHKVAL. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
DTWD Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hi, how does it come, that sometimes the GroundSpeed in the HUD vanishes in "NAV"-mode ? So i only have the Max.Airspeed-Bar. I cannot reproduce, what i've done before, but sometimes it comes back after a while... Right if I remember correctly it's down to the INU not being aligned properly (yet). Basically if you turn down your engine RPM from automatic the INU looses power (I think) and thus when you push it back up it needs to power up and re-align. This is the same for take off, it will take a few minutes to align before you get an acurate speed read out. If however you get over 50 kph the old fashioned air flow speedo kicks in and you start getting a readout, only above 50 though I think, as soon as you drop below (before the INU aligns) you don't have a speed read out.
