Navigation Mode

Why not add a NAV mode for jets? It could replace the current HUD - 1, which is the first HUD that shows the amount of cannon ammo + flares that are currently armed inside the aircraft. Apart from checking your situation on flares, the first HUD choise isnt that important. If a Pitch Ladder could be added ( Maybe even a Flight Path Marker :goodvibes ) then it would help the pilot quite abit during take off and landing.

I agree that Navigation wont be used when flying jets in PR as you wont get more than 5 seconds without having to turn around. But for a landing the Pitch ladder can really be usefull, atleast it is in the other simulation games.

CA might wanna look into this :D looks pretty hardcoded though but what do i know?

Well the Pitch ladder is just the half rectangles with numbers on their sides, hopefully it wouldnt be too hard of a code to crack.

The Cobra and Apache has this I believe, but I don't know the accuracy in which the pitch ladder is simulated.

Most aircraft in CA have a nav mode.

The pitch ladder is the same in almost all modes. However it is fake.


With the current hud code its impossible to have a working pitch ladder, the current single doesn´t even behave right.

yea i would agree that the HUD would have to be fixed but your quote ... fly 5 seconds then have to turn around is a LAME truth about PR ..... its problematic :D lol ... i would say keep the huds the way they are works and keeps every one happy :D
