Serpents Head 1 - Pitch Ladder offset?

[BuzzinChowski]

HI,

I'm asking here because I wonder if this might be a setup of the plane in the mission rather than a 'module' problem. It happens in VR and 2d. 

On Mission 3 the pitch ladder is always shifted over to the left hand side of the HUD. Once you get used to it it's perfectly flyable just quite odd and takes your attention. 

Any ideas what can be done?

Thanks,

Paul

Looks like crosswind.

What does the briefing say concering wind?

And when you say it's always shifted to the left, even when you do a 180 degree turn? If yes, check your INS, alignement, INS switch, GPS etc.

The briefing says 6m/s - so I checked the wind at 0, 90, 180 & 270 - it does indeed seem to be the wind - i wouldn't have thought it was going to have that much effect. 

Thanks for pointing it out

Wind usually also has a direction, so 6m/s from somewhere, probably from about 180 based on your screenshot. Knowing the direction can help you with various things, flight planning, fuel saving, weapon delivery etc.

And 6m/s are about 12 knots. The slower you are the bigger the effect.

Hey @BuzzinChowski

Yeah it is the crosswind pushing your ladder across.

Just so you know you can centralise the ladder under these conditions by using the cage and uncage.  Just remember you have done this as the velocity vector is then showing a false position.
