Spirale Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 I fly level then i pitch up slow to 55° in my HUD indicated. I go to external view( F2) and my F15E seems to be near the vertical plan, about 80°. Any idea? I would like somebody to test this please.
Lasko Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 F2 view is relative to whatever direction and elevation you last had it set. You can't measure angles like this. 1
Spirale Posted July 13, 2024 Author Posted July 13, 2024 I know but i measure angles in 3D in aeronautics every day and i have a good guess about what angle value is. In my "case" there is a huge difference between 50° HUD and "about " 80° shown in ext view. No mistake here. I just want to know if i am alone with this. But THX Lasko gor your reply
razo+r Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 (edited) That's curious. Is your INS correctly aligned? Do you have a screenshot? Edited July 13, 2024 by razo+r
Lasko Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 Interesting, it seems to be OK to me. Are you seeing a difference from the waterline vs velocity indicator? A track would definitely help. 2024-07-13 F15E F2.trk
Spirale Posted July 14, 2024 Author Posted July 14, 2024 I don't see the water line. it is below the HUD for me. I 'll check again.
Spirale Posted July 14, 2024 Author Posted July 14, 2024 Take a look at the second attempt ( the first one is dirty so i invert and dive for speed for the second attempt). During the gentle climb I "freeze" my pitch some seconds @ 65° HUD indicated and switch in ext view/ my plave is barely vertical ( around 75/80°) instaed of being 65°. But perhaps it is my perception which is in default i don't know F15 65° 80°.trk
