amalahama Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Hi! I've some questions to avionics gurus :) In theory, when I press ENTER in the UFC panel, that should enter an target elevation update for the current steerpoint. That is what the manual say. But what does it mean? In the HUD two values come up: 0D and 0G. Before patch 9 these values always were some "random" numbers, now always show 0. Why? Which changes have been done? And what do these values mean? I have the feeling that ALT SCE switch, this elevation update procedure and DELTA CAL in HUD TEST mode are linked to each other somehow... Regards!

amalahama Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Target elevation update is when the DTS/Hot area numbers are flashing to confirm them, nothing to do with the delta updates. When HOT numbers are flashing and you press the key "ENTER" in the UFC, yes, then you confirm the flashing values. But I'm not talking about that. What intrigues me is if you press ENTER key alone, not entering in HOT elevation change mode, then two figures appear in the middle of the HUD. As you noted before, first is the altitude error between CADC and real MSL; second is the real MSL. Right. But then it seems either I don't follow the procedure correctly or this feature is broken now in DCS: In 1.1.0.9, both numbers are 0. In previous patches, this values contained some figures, I'm not sure whether they were correct or not though. Something should be broken here. If you press again ENTER, both values should be transferred to DELTA CAL in IFCC TEST. I've tested that in previous patches, when some nubers appeared on the HUD, but the DELTA value never passed to the IFCC after the second press. I turned IFCC to TEST mode and check, but still all numbers were 0. Regards!
