HUD Calibration

(1/3) > >>

virtuali:
Maybe not many have noticed it, but it's possible to calibrate the pitch ladder of the F/A-18 HUD to adjust the waterline to the scenery view, because the two might be or not in sync, depening on the eye position (like you were adjusting your pilot's seat up/down) and the zoom factor (this is of course fixed in real life...)

Just rotate the central screw on the HUD assembly, to align the pitch ladder waterline with the actual horizon...

That's an almost frightening level of detail.

AWESOME..Thanks!

Intrepid:

THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED

Not sure I understand what this adjustment does.   I see the adjustment screw and see it move the ladder but at what point do I calibrate and what should I be seeing.  Anybody got a good picture that might help me to understand the calibration?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

virtuali:
The calibration should allow to match the HUD horizon line with the scenery actual horizon. The matching might be accurate or not, depending on your eyeposition and the zoom factor so, whenever you change one of these, you should calibrate the HUD accordingly.
