Direwolf Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I can´t get the time displayed on the HUD. IS this a bug, or the procedure changed? An when we´re gonna get the option to have Local Time on HUD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direwolf Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Never. It's not a thing in the real jet. Ok for me with the answer for the second part of the question (although I don´t understand why there is an option to do that on UFC), but the firs part of the question (ZTOD is not working) is still unanswered.

Direwolf Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi Only Zulu time, can be toggled form the HSI page thanks I tried.....I knew how to do that before today´s patch (HSI, TIMEUFC, box/unbox it). Now is not working .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doum76 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 To show on the HUD i think, on the HSI, select TIMEUFC on the bottom of the HSI, then select ZTOD from the UFC making sure the two little green dots apears besides ZTOD on the UFC, then come out TIMEUFC meny by unboxing it on the HSI and the time will appear on the HUD with gears up and disapear once gears are down.

Is this gears up/down behavior new? Now when the gears are up, I can see the ZTOD, but I remember I could set TOT on the ground before taking off (gears down), and could check the time on the HUD. Now it seems I need to be in the air to do that.... Edited September 23, 2020 by Direwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I don't know which variant of the F/A-18 this video is from, but you can see the behavior as he takes off or when he lands, as soon as the E bracket shows, the time disapear, so i guess they decided to reproduce the real thing. .

So that´s the RL procedure....And I learned the wrong way since day one.....I cant tell you, it worked on the ground in the past. Every time I had to use TOT procedure, I set the parameters, before taking off...And I had the HUD to help me out to check the numbers...No problem....

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 23, 2020 ED Team Share Posted September 23, 2020 It should also be noted, we added the function that turns off HUD time anytime the gear is down. Maybe this is the issue you have? 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

You do have a time keeping device in the IFEI, which can display ZTIME regardless of HUD status. Also, the option for LTOD on the ufc is used to set LTOD, not to display it on the hud.

Doum76 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I've never seen a pilot who wasn't wearing a watch. We'Re talking DCS, so basicly most people even have a second screen to watch the time on the bottom bar, though on my side, in VR, both watches are useless, therefore i love the zulu time on the HUD or the stopwatch/time on the IFEI.

Direwolf Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've never seen a pilot who wasn't wearing a watch. Well, when I´m playing DCS (because this is a game, right?), I´m relaxed at home, in comfortable clothes, no watches, with some snacks (beer sometimes) on the table....I´m not a real pilot, you know? I´m not in uniform, G-suits, boots....And for sure, no watches..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
