Hiding flight path marker


Knock-Knock

Recommended Posts

Will the Harrier HUD eventually support this, as in the A-10C, that the Flight path marker will cut out / disappear behind the pipper - gun, rockets etc?

Atm, every rocket run I do, the flight path marker is dead center in the rocket pipper for example, and obscures visibility to target.

Good find, thx.

Hmm, thats a shame. Maybe the day we can adjust HUD brightness, it wont obscure so much, and aligning the green pixel on the dark pixel, will become easier :).

Suggesting GUN CCIP mode

 

One thing you can try is to switch from the gun cross to the gun CCIP. Note that there are three gun crosses that I'm aware of: the short range one, the long range one, and the CCIP one. The short and long range ones can be engaged by selecting gun mode and toggling between cage and uncage. The third is a little hidden.

 

Here are the steps I enable that mode (there may be easier ways, but I'm not aware):

  • Activate gun mode (A/A MODE DOWN:GUN)
  • Select DMT or MAP (SENSOR SELECT AFT or SENSOR SELECT LEFT); for DMT, both TV and LMT work
  • Select OSB 5 on the right MPCD (should be labeled "GUN"). This will enable the CCIP while in GUN mode, and is slightly reminiscent of the A-10C one.
  • (optional) Change HUD to night mode to make it more dim, then project FLIR onto HUD if it improves visibility (SENSOR SELECT DOWN) BHOT or WHOT as necessary.
  • (optional) you can also play around with the reject levels (REJ1 and REJ2 to the left of the HUD brightness knob). None of these remove the TVV, but maybe a little less clutter will be less of a distraction.

 

I never really notice the TVV in the way with this mode enabled. In fact, this setup much more closely resembles the previously posted YouTube video in above reply.

 

Hope this helps!
