lawndartleo Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Are there a key commands that I am just not seeing that can change the course and heading settings on the HSI like I can when I am really flying or is it not that detailed of an instrument? Seems it does have a CDI but no way to line it up properly except to fly the aircrtaft to the intended course radials. Nothing in the key settings is sticking out and nothing in the manuals is, either.
pauldy Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) You cannot control the HSI in game. It will only tell you your distance from the selected waypoint/ILS and your deviation from the pre-planned course. Edited November 16, 2009 by pauldy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mvsgas Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 You can control the HSI heading and course if you set the instrument to manual control. Look at the extended manual, page 6-19, item 13. 13. “ЗПУ-ЗК РУЧН – АВТ” (DH/DTA source) switch. This switch is used to select between automatic and manual desired heading and desired track angle setting of the HSI. When in the default down position, automatic “АВТ” mode is selected. When in automatic mode, the heading and course pointers will be updated by the navigation system and automatically change according to the current waypoint. When in the up position, manual “РУЧН” mode is selected and the DH and DTA knob is used to adjust the pointers. [LCTRL + H] As stated above, in “АВТ" the system is updated by navigation system and it will not allow any changes. to change you have to set it to manual control. You can download the extended manual from this link http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=2199&scr=products&lang=en To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

No NDBs or VORs or anything like that. Aero DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
