Hello.

 

I am unsure if this video has already been posted - if it has been, excuse me - but it demonstrates the Rockwell HGS quite nicely. The video briefly shows and explains an approach to Innsbruck's runway 26 in a based simulator. What's really interesting is to see how terrain and other things are displayed in green on the HGS with regards to low visiblity conditions.

 

 

I am not certain if some of the capabilites seen in this video are planned for the NGX one day, if it's possible to recreate these in the framework of FSX at all and the 737 HGS provides these options in reality. I have to state, that PMDG has done a marvelous job programming their HGS...thanks again! :smile:

 

best regards,

Someday soon this will be available in PMDG's HUD and for any aircraft using FSX via an add-on.

Looks great!

 

Flare guidance... Just a couple of years and my grandma will be able to fly this bird

Nice video !

Someday soon this will be available in PMDG's HUD and for any aircraft using FSX via an add-on.

 

Ned,

 

do you feel to share more info with us, or is this still - T O P S E C R E T -? :smile:

I have no proprietary information but if you think it through it has to happen in a year to 18 months.

 

It's not too difficult software-wise to overlay an HUD on the FSX exterior view. It's not trivial but an advanced graphics coder could do it. Also it's pretty sexy as far as getting marketing points. And it's got a wide open field with very little competition on non-PMDG aircraft.
