Zaphael Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This happened twice in a row. Once without pulling much G as I was pretty much in altitude hold doing an orbit for about 20 minutes. The second time was after spiking to 11Gs trying to break into a missile. Long and short, is the slanted HUD pitch ladder due to over-G effects on the INS or Gyros? It seems like the pitch ladder would gradually recover after flying straight and level for a while, but the FPM would remain inaccurate. Is there a way to reset the gyros or INS? Or is there an option to limit Over-G damage to them via options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarso Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 All I can say is that a severe over-G routinely screws up my HUD. When that happens it never comes back and works right for the remainder of that flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the real plane this would have been followed by your wings tearing off and you falling out of the sky on fire anyway.

near_blind Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 In the real plane this would have been followed by your wings tearing off and you falling out of the sky on fire anyway. Probably not at 11Gs unless the air frame was heavily fatigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphael Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 In the real plane this would have been followed by your wings tearing off and you falling out of the sky on fire anyway. In my defence, I was defending against a missile shot. It was a brief spike nonetheless. So, is there any way to configure the gyros to be non damageable from Over-G? Truth is, as realistic as it is (much appreciate the realism), but us sim jockeys cannot feel the jet to avoid accidentally spiking the Gs. So this "realism" without some form of feedback does detract from the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hamfisted it, you'll remember next time. It's part of the learning process.

Home Fries Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The Tomcat airframe can take a lot of punishment, but less can be said about its INS. If your violent maneuvering dorked the alignment, you can either deal with it or switch to AHRS and RTB if it's serious enough. Bottom line: it's still better to replace an INU than lose an entire jet, so the price of dodging a missile may just be giving the enemy an M-kill instead of a K-kill. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4y30n Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Attitude and Heading Reference Set. It's the backup for the IMU and it has significant limitations. If I recall, heading is magnetic only and attitude is from mechanical gyros that will drift over time. It also hits gimbal lock at ±82º pitch. You can correct errors by holding down the HDG knob while flying straight and level at constant speed, NATOPS says this could take up to 3 min.
