Zenra Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Does anybody know if the Standby Attitude Indicator can be re-caged? The tool-tip that appears when you mouse over its knob suggests that you can by doing a simultaneous mouse click and scroll wheel, but I cannot get it to work. The manual says the SAI is caged by "pulling" the knob, but I cannot find a way to do so. I know the SAI is basically useless now since it becomes hopelessly out of alignment after just a few minutes of even mild manouvering, but wondered if caging and uncaging might help (as it should IRL).

GGTharos Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Yes. I think you have to 'pull it out' and then twist it into the caged position - something tricky like that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

The manual says the SAI is caged by "pulling" the knob, but I cannot find a way to do so. This is done by left click and hold, IIRC, and then turn the mouse wheel. Also, the knob has to be in the correct quadrant of its movement range to be able to be pulled (somewhere around the middle, i think). Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

Frogfoot1606687865 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 yes, I had problems with this. The solution I found is that the horizontal line which is adjusted by the mouse scroll wheel needs to be in the center of the SAI. Then you can left click and hold to recage. You have to hold it for several seconds. If it was my aircraft I would replace the SAI with a working one which doesn't drift so often. I can't imagine the real one is so bad.

After watching the latest video Wags put out, seems they adjusted it in one of these upcoming patches. Both it's error accumulation and it's modeling. Anyway, yeah left click the knob and scroll your artificial aircraft back to the top of the gauge, then release. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] How To Fix Your X-52's Rudder!

It adds to the immersion when you are shot up and have to rely on it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Not only does it seem to stay free of errors, but it's logic when you roll is different, like it falls with gravity. /thread hijack.

GGTharos Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I think you'll get quite a bit more immersion with the shadows. I sure feel more like in a real aircraft looking at them.

genbrien Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 a bit offtopic, but how would you realign the SAI and the HSI if they drifted ?
