Thanks again. Great info. One more, if you don't mind: does the ACLS
tadpole act more like a flight director (like, say, the intersection point of standard civilian jet ADI needles), or does it simply act more like supersensitive ILS needles? I know it's the little cue that ends up (hopefully) on top of the velocity vector, with a dot in the middle, but am not sure which of the above it actually functions as. FYI, I'm also investigating to see if there's a way to record the deviations from AoA, lineup and glideslope every, say, 10th of a second or so, and then use statisitcs (root mean square, probably) to calculate a landing grade. (A kind of mathematical LSO!) There's almost certainly a way, but I doubt if Microsoft created those variables in a way that would make it as easy as it seems. |

Thank you all for your input. I just recently uploaded the Hornet HUD panel
to avsim.com, flightsim.com, and simviation.com. I think it turned out pretty well - very similar "look and feel." Any of you who tinker with such things, let me know what you think needs improvement. Also, someone was kind enough to point me to the Hornet's NATOPS flight manual, so of course now I'm just going to HAVE to model the HUD/vector steering arrow, and maybe the basic modes of the HSI, also. Thanks again. |
