Is the Tiger getting a cockpit facelift?

And getting the basics right would be great too which means, being able to fly IFR with an artificial horizon that's still indicating the correct pitch attitude after e.g. a touch & go.

 

I’m unsure if this is actually a bug. It’s possible that the F-5’s attitude gyro tends to precess a bit more than others. Even the one in the F/A-18 will indicate incorrectly after some dynamic maneuvering. Maybe before pushing the throttles up, take a second to re-cage it?

Haven't tested lately, but this usually happens already after a normal traffic pattern when touching down with significant nose up attitude . As soon as you lower the nose, the AH will be off by at least 2deg.

Note: I fly VR about 75% of the time since getting the Rift S (previously about 50% with the original Rift), so I generally don't see the huge improvements in graphics between older and newer aircraft unless I fly with my 4K 49-inch monitor, therefore the F-5 cockpit doesn't really look all that bad to me compared to other newer cockpits.

Interesting. I find that VR shows up flaws in the cockpit much more than on a monitor.

I love the F-5, but an updated cockpit is overdue imo.
