Hud problems

[leroy1964]

I am flying straight and level (well as good as can be, very touchie controls) and yet the hud is slightly right of view, can be rather annoying as I am constantly checking instruments and rate of climb, heading etc etc. Is this one of those "where you look the hud is"? sorry I am new to A10C in the whole sense.

 

Any help would be appreicated, I am going to print the massive manual later but I will have to chop down a few more trees and buy a couple of toner cartridges:cry: anyway cheers all, good to be back :thumbup:

Joystick maybe?

 

Guys should have put it in previous post, could it be a joystick calibration issue. I am using a Logitech Extreme 3DPRO X3D. I did have trim issues with DCS Blackshark, one of the reasons I stopped playing it sadly.

 

Please help if you can.

just to clarify, do you mean the entire HUD is out of view, or just the pitch ladders? The ladders can drift if you're flying in a cross wind, it's by design and there's no way to change it so they're centered.

 

If you're entire HUD is off center that's a little different. Probably it's just your pilot's head has moved. If you don' t have TrackIR the mouse look is still very flexible. Hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse around and you should be able to get your head where the HUD is in view again. You can also hold down the middle mouse and scroll the wheel to move your head backwards and forwards.

Could you take a screenshot to show what you mean?

Excellent replies

 

Yeah mate, the pitch ladders, if that is normal I will have to get used to it. I guess I am used to play flight sims where the hud/pitch ladders stayed centre on straight and level flight.

 

I will take a screenshot for you as asked (the Mod dude who asked) but am unsure how one puts it in the thread, but will give it a go.:smilewink:

 

The game rocks guys, on another note I am still wishing they would do an Apache version, would make my life sweet.:megalol:

 

Again thanks, love this forum and this sim looks superb.

 

Cheers

"Go Advanced", and paperclip icon.

 

If you mean the pitch ladders though, probably no need. This is normal - they align with the TVV (Total Velocity Vector) which indicates where you are going. If there's wind it will cause you to drift, and the TVV and ladders will reflect this. To illustrate it, fly a mission where you can observe this drift, and then do a 180 degree turn - you'll see how they moved over to the other side of your HUD.

Okay thanks

Yeah that is what is happening, is this what happens in real A/C? as I said I guess I am used to the ladder things just sitting central (as in not moving with drift etc) this I feel might take some time to get used to. Again thanks:thumbup:

Yes, that's the real function. Some aircraft have a setting that makes the HUD ignore drift for the TVV and ladder, but the A-10C does not have that function.
