effte Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 That's what the yellow stoweable ADI bars should do. Initially, they did (although not very well). Last I heard, they're still acting CDI repeaters with no way to change it. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
airea Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 How would they work if they were acting like flight directors? Should they also show the deviation from the course line in mission?
ralfidude Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I dont trust ILS anyway... Those bars put me on a glide slope to hit the middle of the runway and not the beginning of it... [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]
lobo Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 How would they work if they were acting like flight directors? Should they also show the deviation from the course line in mission? The steering bars/command bar/flight director bars are not currently steering/commanding or directing, they are repeating the gs/loc. If they were working correctly the pilot simply centers the steering bars, manouvering to keep them centered, and it's easy as pie to fly a very accurate ILS right down the loc and slope. As it is now in the DCS A-10C the flight director/steering bars are porked and should be stowed. Stow them and you can fly a nice raw data ILS using the gs and loc indications as presented on the ADI and HSI. Good practice! "To maneuver the airplane using the flight director, the pilot enters the desired modes of operation (heading, altitude, nav intercept, and tracking) on the FD/AP mode controller. The computed flight commands are then displayed to the pilot through a dual-cue system, the commands are displayed on two separate command bars, one for pitch and one for roll. To maneuver the airplane using computed commands, the pilot “flies” the symbolic airplane of the FCI to match the steering cues presented." ILS GS and LOC representation is correct. Yellow steering bars are wrong. The gs and loc indications as presented on the ADI and HSI are correct. What is not correct is the functioning of the yellow steering bars. If you want to shoot an ILS as it is now, you should stow the malfunctioning steering bars and use the raw loc/gs info as presented on the ADI and HSI.
