T-45 HUD problem ...
« on: March 30, 2010, 02:40:33 am »
When I get airborne and cleaned up, the velocity vector and pitch ladder is offset quite a ways towards the left edge of the HUD. I can bring it back to center by inputting a lot of right rudder (except now I'm doing rudder rolls).

Checked the controller - calibration is ok.

Sounds like the HUD is uncaged. There's a key command that will cage it and set the pitch ladder in the middle of the HUD although I'm not sure what it is. If you've got the realistic HUD I think it's in the readme that came with it.

Caused by wind.  Cage your hud and you will have a ghost velocity vector where it is now, and the normal velocity vector centered along with the pitch ladder.

Readme file mentions a cage "switch". Don't see any such switch in the VC view.

Winds were light at 5000'. Crab angle shouldn't be that "big" a factor. I think the F-18 HUD limit is 8 degrees ... need big winds for that much crab at 300 knots!

Thanks

T-45C cage switch is on the stick about halfway down the grip on the left side (where your thumb would rests if you were just holding it). I don't know if you can click it or if it's even modeled though.

The cage switch for this FSX aircraft is on a popup panel.  Press shift+5.

This is for the improved realistic HUD resized fot the Goshawk.  Not Dino's default.

Where do you find this HUD at? At one point I had it but can't seem to find it anymore after reloading FSX.

That would be Jivko Rusev (neutrino)'s improved FA-18 HUD adapted for Dino's T-45 Goshawk ;).
