HUD mode question

[fulcrum_64th]

As the newbie I am, I probably messed up something at the startup check: I can't get my mode to give show me CCPI, CCPR , Gun , NAV modes :( i.e. i don't see the pipers (yet the mode seems to be switched on as I see it on the weapon ordinance screen)

 

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?

 

Thanks a lot

PS: the EAC light is illuminated on my xmas tree (not sure if that's related)

Was the CDU turned on, initialized, and "Load All" selected in the MFD?

Generally speaking, a track with you performing a startup would offer a quick and easy way to identify the problem. :)

Do you have master arm on? IIRC it must be on for weapon cues to display...

That usually seem to happen (for me at least) when you fail to load the INS completely, fail setting the GPS on the buttons in front of the stick and thus not being able to get the EAC to work.

Ensure you fully align the EGI (4.0 minutes and 0.8nm per hour drift), select NAV on the CDU and then select EGI on the navigation mode select panel in front of the stick below the HSI.

 

You will then be able to enable EAC etc, and solve the IFFCC targeting issues. If that doesn't work, post a track so we can see exactly what you've done/not done.

He means EGI reads <4.0.0.8> in the last line after starting it. C'mon man, the guy is fresch! :smartass::smartass:

 

But I share EtherealN's concern about posting a track. It will help us to figure what went south and possibly help you do it better. Just a heads up; don't switch views outside the cockpit. It will ruin the track..

Hi All,

 

Thanks a lot for your help. My mistake was that I forgot to switch from HARS to EGI and then arm the EAC.

My a-10c is now all working fine ! Need to practice a bit and then apply to an online squadron :) Any hint on which squadron to look into ? I am a big fan of procedure and realistic flying :) I guess like most of you :)

 

Cheers
