Flashing "Note" in the bottom of the HUD

[bradleyjs]

I noticed this yesterday and can't seem to find out how to "find the Note" -- anyone ever seen this; and if so, how do I read the message -= - my initial guess is the CDU...

[Frederf]

On the MFCDs. One of the more common notes is "CHECK EO TIMER" or something which is Mavericks running >30 minutes. Reset warning-caution-note with TMS left.

 

Some notes are misplaced in the betas at the lower right corner of the screen instead of readable centered,

Thought there was a message button on the right MFD or something to that effect.

[MTFDarkEagle]

Yes there is, but as Frederf explained some notes are misplaced (beta issue I guess)

[Wags]

As always, a screen shot or track would help greatly.

 

Some notes are centered in the MFCD while others are correctly in the bottom right corner (like EO time).

[bradleyjs]

Yeah I should have taken a screenshot or track -- but I didn't really think about it until a few days later... sorry..

That's the page for datalink messages. The HUD "note" always always indicates a note of the WCN type. A new datalink message will generate a WCN though, but it's a separate notification to the message itself. I don't know if simply accessing the message clears the notification.

That's so weird that a note would intentionally be unable to be read in full. Is there a place where you can read notes in full?

After you fly a track is generated automatically. It should be something like LastMission.trk in the temp folder.

Good info, thanks. But, I didn't start thinking about it until several days after (and several more missions under-my-belt) - then I posted this thread..

 

But, am more wise now than before.. Thanks

Which notes are unreadable? Maybe try to grab a screenshot next time you see one.

[Frederf]

The Check EO Timer one for example. It's off the bottom right hand corner of the MFD and you can only see "CH / EO" but it's obvious that there is more to the note.

I think only a few pixels on the right hand side are cut off, and it says CHCK EO TIME (right-aligned). Although I was only looking at the right MFCD, so maybe it's worse on the left? It does seem slightly misaligned, but if they said that's how it actually is in the aircraft I wouldn't be all that surprised.

Yes I have, in the $60 purchased version, (.7 Patch #2) is still a lower HUD centered message.

 

Does this - Note - refer to anything else?

 

I searched for it in the .pdf 700 page flight manual with a Ctrl F search input box for Adobe.

 

I did not find a reference to it. That does not mean it is not mentioned in the manual.

 

I have not found what it means except this post---my 1st post result to a forum search in this forum topic.

At the bottom of the HUD - the word Note is flashing not quite sure what caused it ... where do I go to read about it or why it's there?

[Evil.Bonsai]

Answered in previous posts: check your mfcd; usually will say 'check eo timer' or something . You can click 'ack' to indicate you've read it and 'note' will go away

[bradleyjs]

Thanks, I saw this several times today - it just wasn't that apparent to me before ..
