fitness88 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 How do I stop the black 'auto' box from popping up in the middle of the HSI? When I press the contrast button it pops up. HSI button 5 [tacan] has 2 extra lines of information below time to go, a 4 digit number and a 2 digit number, what are they indicating? Thank you.

dorianR666 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 1. it should disappear automatically some time after the last press of the contrast/brightness switch. it cannot be prevented. 2. one of those is remaining fuel at arrival i believe, the other i dont know CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewarblade Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 2.1) expected remaining Fuel with maintain current Speed and Altitude. 2.2) 2 Digits tell you the top of decent on current Station/WP with idle throttle and maintaining 250 KIAS regulated by pitch. Keep in mind they calculated on Point without any offset like Glidepath or something else [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] https://www.facebook.com/vJaBoG32/ http://virtual-jabog32.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziptie Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It goes away and returns every 30 seconds or so. Sounds like you might want to double check any bindings for it. Seems like it is constantly being adjusted (probably a double bind from the recent update - it did all sorts of weird things to many people's key binds).

Tholozor Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The first set of digits underneath the navigational data is the FPAS calculated fuel remaining the aircraft will have by the estimated time of arrival to that point. The second set of digits below that represents the calculated range remaining at which the aircraft should begin descent (e.g. begin descent when the number reaches 0).

Frederf Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 the second one is a bug, it shouldn't count down to zero but show the distance away to begin descent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
