Kercheiz Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 In APP mode, the IAS is positioned properly at mid-height so that it stays visible even with raised seat, this is perfect. However, as soon as wheels touch the runway, the HUD goes to ground mode, and the speed is re positioned to the top of the HUD. If your seat is raised, you can't see it. Raising the seat is very useful for landing, as otherwise your target AoA goes at the lower limit, or even sometimes below the visible part of the HUD. But as soon as you touch you can't see your speed which is a big problem. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the APP mode is disabled when the front gear is touching the ground, I don't know if it's realistic, but I binded the seat up and down buttons to the flap switch on my Warthog throttle so it does not bother me. Wouldn't hurt to ask the SME how it is IRL tho :).

You can see that at some point, the speed indication jumps up. Mirage fanatic !
