Thanks SUBS...
One of my favorites, because along with the viewpoint you get to see flashes of a realistic collimated HUD thats "projected forward" of the actual glass so you get to focus on it and the outside environment. Also, I like the Creed song in that video. That was big when I was going thru primary in the summer (insanely HUMID and HOT) of '01 at NAS Corpus, brings back some fun memories. Hehe, good ole T-34C Turbo TORMENTOR, as SNAs refer to it.
Spaz...
I think Raz has a valid point. This is without documentation, but have a gander at these videos... if you can find some documentation FOR or AGAINST, would like to read up on it. As of right now, I was under the opinion that 8.1 units was Optimum AoA for the Hornet to land at? Either way, after looking at these videos, I would think its safe to say, something needs to get fixed for the T-45 HUD as the T-45 and F-18 seem to land under different optimum AoA. If possible, just have to find out the FOR SURE, PUBLICATION-VALIDATED reasoning and implement that into the T-45 version.
Forward to :16, watch the landing, and freeze where the 15.8/15.9 AoA comes up when the AoA goes out of the plus-minus AoA "no-display" limits before he even lands. Then watch the landing and see that 13.5 AoA shows up on touchdown. Also, in the pattern, at 2:30, the high end of AoA displays for a few flashes and 18.6 shows up. Also on the second landing, 15.5 comes up on touchdown.
Same with this video, watch from 1:22 on, and watch the occasional flash of 15.7/15.8 when the AoA bracket goes a little too far out of paramters.
Now, compare that with this video at 3:24 where on touchdown, the Hornet shows 6.9
Also, JR...
Dont know if you answered this or not, but I think someone was asking you about the TACAN readings for the T-45 only going to 0.2? In all the videos Ive seen the its 0.3 crossing to 0.2 into the wires and going no lower than 0.2, so I think you have it right.
