Virtual Waypoint Marker

The HMD of the new MTADS Apache comes with a number of 'virtual' items displayed to the pilot. The currently selected waypoint is made virtual in cruise and tranistion modes, the waypoint position is marked with a flat bottomed diamond with a dot in the centre. See the take-off point (W00) on the image below.

Flying with the flight path marker inside this symbol and you should head right to that spot.

*update*

Corrected scale of altitude readout, flight path vector no longer Russian (removed aircraft roll) and repositioned barometric altimeter to the TOP of the alt scale where it should be.

  2. I had hard times reading the text on the HUD for black shark especially when you lean back if you have a trackIR. I always liked with BS to have full view of the cockpit when flying while being able to see the readouts on the HUD.

    Can't wait for this. Looking good.

  4. Sunscreens (like in your car) and the smaller ones above are vents for blowing air, defoggers.
