HSI shows negative pitch in level flight.

Post by Flying_fish » Wed Nov 15, 2017 11:17 pm

I can't see other references to this in the general or support forums, but do put me right if I've missed something...
Enjoying the first few flights with the Beaver, but noticed straight away that the HSI reads a pitch down of about 10 degrees in level flight, i.e. when the pitch indicator reads 0.
I looked at various 'You Tube' reviews of the Milvis Beaver and saw that this seems to be common to all versions of the model.
I don't have any hours in the aircraft, but a quick look at Jim 'the pilot's channel the real aircraft shows and HSI 'on the line' in level flight. To get this in the Milvis model you need to pitch up about 15 degrees.

Before I post this in the support section, am I missing something obvious? If this is how it is modelled, the gauge offers no help to the pilot in IMC or during climb and approaches.

I'm guessing you are referring to the attitude indicator. Try the one [in file 'Beaver_int_01.dds'] included with C-FRBB, CF-LRS or C-GFRX repaints.

Thanks Ranger75, that's a very helpful workaround.
Can a fix for this this be incorporated into a future update, please?

If I understand what you're saying, this plane has a calibration knob where just adjusting it a bit will place the attitude indicator correctly. It only takes two seconds each time you fly.
