F15 ILS HUD Incorrect

[IvanK]

The FC2 F15 HUD presentation is incorrect and confusing. The large ILS deviation bars are only referenced to the centre of the HUD and not any HUD symbol. In addition the steering cross is still present ! confusion indeed.

 

In the actual F15 the Steering cross is used to fly an ILS. As soon as ILS is selected the Steering cross becomes referenced to the ILS. To track the localiser and glide slope the pilot flies the Velocity vector to the steering cross then tracks it with the velocity vector.

 

 

To fix it what should happen is:

FC2 pilot selects ILS mode

Steering cross changes refrence from NAV Waypoint to ILS.

Gun cross is removed from the HUD display as well.

Finally HSI CDI bar should become ILS localiser referenced as well. (at present it remains waypoint course referenced).

I hate to say it but this might just be leftovers from older game engines. IIRC, those ILS bars were present in Flanker 2.0 on the Su-27. They were also present for the Su-27 in original Lock On. That was one of the numerous things Flamming Cliffs improved on the Russian planes. I'm guessing that it just has never been changed in the F-15C.

It's known, and I don't think it's slated for a fix.
