curben 18 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi, not sure if that was mentioned already but when I change the HUD mode (stdby to FD or TO for example) and press act, as described in the manual, nothing happens. It always stays in PRI mode. Is that not implemented, a bug, or am I doing something wrong? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendead 30 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 You need certain item checked for some mode to work. You can switch to VMC anytime, FD require some kind of VOR or LOC and A1 to A3 require LOC+GS, that's what I found, but could be wrong. Anyway, all the mode are more or less the same, don't expect to see runway outline using A mode, nor should you thrust your flight path symbol to land accurately. I don't even think changing runway length and elevation in the HUD control affect anything. I've been reading the official CRJ HUD manual on smart cockpit and a lot of work need to be done.

N38TM 13 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I can't seem to find the talked about HUD and step to activate it? Where can I find the documentation. I don't see it mentioned in tutorial Never mind. I found the hinge to lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info! I’m pretty sure I tried all modes, including VMC, and none worked. I’ll try again. Were you able to activate anything besides PRI? Can someone confirm that this is indeed implemented and supposed to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say several FAA violations occurred going into KMSP in bad weather the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
