HUD Activating 'method' on the ramp. cold start

Hi people,

i got a question / bug report not sure,

When on the ramp in a cold Viper, when you would do a start up, it notices me that the hud system only activates when you activated the
right avionics consoles switches like mmc, gps, and so on. and of course you would have rotated the SYM-wheel.

Now, to my recollection, I thought that the hud is a separate unit that can be activated the moment the main generator is on.
So like when you would 'only' turn the hud SYM wheel, it wil come on. Now it does only when, SYM-wheel is set, 'and' avionics turned on.

Funny thing. When you have parked on the ramp, and wants to do a nice shutdown procedure... when all avionics switches are turned off, the 
Hud remains active..!!?? 

So i think something is off

Let me know folks

Cheers..!

To my understanding (i'm not an avionics guy) the HUD is a separate unit, but it's a display, so not a processing unit itself.

If you don't turn on the other stuff, there is simply nothing to show.

The SYM wheel is like an on/off button and brightness wheel in one

okee.. why does the hud not come on, when rotating the wheel... at rampstart and leaving the MMC switch off

while the opposit way does occur... when shutting down and turning off the MMC... will have the hud remained active.... thats weird to me.


Its like when you turn your car key, the head lights won't come on until the engine runs... but when shutting down the engine, the lights won't die out.

See it more as the HUD is your monitor and the MMC is a your motherboard/desktop

In your case it's more like turning on your monitor, but not your desktop. 

 

Why it does that when shutting down seems like a bug to me
