Mad Dog 7.62 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I have looked and looked through the UFC and HUD sections of the manual and can't find it.....is there a way to declutter the HUD?

Frederf Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 There are a few HUD options in the IFFCC menu as well, not much, but some. In the F-16 you can declutter the pitch bars away and all sorts of stuff.
BlueRidgeDx Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 It's probably not what you had in mind, but you can acheive the ultimate HUD declutter by switching the HUD mode switch to STBY. Doing so will remove all symbology except for the Standby Reticle. The Standby Reticle is depressible - about 9 mils will get you close to the usual GBL location, and 41 mils is about where the TVV settles in level flight at 300kt. The A-10C HUD is already pretty well decluttered considering that airspeed and altitude are already displayed in digital format, and several other IFFCC display options are off by default (Airspeed/Altitude Tapes, the Radar Altitude tape, Vertical Velocity Tape, etc.) "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt.

Mad Dog 7.62 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 Switch to Nav mode? What exactly did you need to declutter from it? Nope, trying to get some of the extra symbology out of the way when using the GAU-8. Those tanks are tiny little dots to line up on, need as few distractions as possible!!!

kylania Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Yup, when you're in GUNS mode, the inside of the reticule is cleared so there's just the aim dot: Notice how the compass ribbon disappears inside the reticule, you just see the first "2" of 21 and the last "2" of 22 and none of the ribbon there.

Frederf Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 You can actually change (in IFFCC menu) whether or not the gun reticule occults (occludes) the other HUD symbology. Default is Y.
26-J39 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 You can actually change (in IFFCC menu) whether or not the gun reticule occults (occludes) the other HUD symbology. Default is Y. Yeah would be nice to have the option unfortunately it does not work... at least on my game.. :noexpression:
nomdeplume Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 That option doesn't affect the main gun reticule and it's not supposed to. It applies to the secondary gun cross. 1
Zorg_DK Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Is it possible to make the main gun reticule not occlude the TGP diamond box? "There are only 10 types of people in the world — those who understand binary, and those who don't." [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
26-J39 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) That option doesn't affect the main gun reticule and it's not supposed to. It applies to the secondary gun cross. Ah ha .. Thx nomdeplume.. So is there any way to still have 'symbology' inside the gun Piper? Edited: for grammer Edited November 12, 2010 by 26-J39
nomdeplume Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 As far as I'm aware, no. I think it makes sense that a RL pilot would want to see what they're shooting at, not a symbol on the HUD. This question has been raised a few times and been responded to by ED testers, and I've never seen anyone say it's possible. I'm steering clear of saying it's definitely not possible, but I think if it was someone would've said so by now.
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 the HUD TDC is larger than TGP diamond.. Just lock target with TGP, SOI HUD, and slew HUD TDC. TMS aft long back on TGP and boresight, now you got a larger square.. Also no more Gimb/Climb Roll dizziness.. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
