Rudder!!! Pitch scale on both analog and digital ADI!!! ILS needles!!! Standalone RWR!!! Working altimeter gauge!!! Rudder again!!! IAS/TAS selector!!!...

Errr....

I mean... thx for your commitment and efforts to improve and keep this sim alive.

Regards.

Looking forward to whatever is produced by you guys - thanks for all your efforts over many years.

You know that you CAN see TAS/GS readouts on the HSI, right? (Actually as winds aloft are not modelled, I think it is pretty much the same) Not the same as a HUD toggle, of course, but it is there... IAS on the HUD, TAS/GS on the HSI

Good luck gentelmen, looking forward to your contributions.

Thanks to everyone in TSH for keeping the game alive and well!

Looking forward to getting F18 a much needed update.

Can't wait...well I can because I have played this game since about 2000. Welcome aboard.

Sorry for the OT...



Now I'm confused... The only groundspeed I can read on the HSI (DATA page) is the prebriefed one from WPT to WPT, not the actual one; kinda useless since you can't read your TAS/GS anywhere else. Or can you? What am I missing? Who stole that page from my manual?

Besides that (not so important after all, anyway you'll always adjust your speed to match the prebriefed time to target or time to WPT), maybe winds aloft are not modeled, but air density is, and that positively affects to the gap between IAS and TAS.

Regards.

See Manual pp. 4-70, 4-71

On either side of the aircraft symbol are readouts ending in T and G for TAS/GS respectively:




and yes, there is a difference between IAS and TAS, but generally the TAS and GS readouts are the same all the time.


.....and what do you mean by ILS needles?? When you turn on ILS mode, you do see the ILS needles in the HUD (NAV mastermode selected).

What's really annoying is that in the DATA page for waypoints, the speeed indicated seems to imply ground speed "GSPD 450" which in reality happens to be a wayyy slower IAS :p

OMG... Can I blame my addiction to coffee and the use of freetrack for not seeing that?...



I mean analog ILS needles on the backup ADI ball in case you lose your HUD. I don't know if they appear too when you select the HUD display in one of the MFD though.

Regards.

Of course you can! Normally I blame it on NOT ENOUGH coffee, but to each his own




OK that's kind of what I thought. I find when the ILS needles are in the ADI, like some of the Third Wire aircraft, it is too much of a pain being heads down...and I do better just eyeballing it
