AD4 Roll / Pitch Indicator

Recommended Posts

Hi

I would like to know a bit more about this instrument :

AD4_RollPitch_Indicator.jpg.ed981ae757f82eae92f56798f9ec807c.jpg

 

In real life, in AD4-1or AD4-2, what was the purpose of this instrument ?

Horizontal : I guess it's the pitch in degrees, from -90 to 90
Vertical : I guess it's the roll in degrees, but : from 9 left to 9 right or 90 left to 90 right ?

As this picture comes from the LABS bombing procedure, it could be +/- 90 degrees vertical and +/- 9 degrees banking. But I'm not sure.

Thanks !

After few attempts, I think this is the way to make it work :

A-4B_COCKPIT.INI

Instrument[029]=ClimbDiveIndVert
Instrument[030]=ClimbDiveIndHoriz

(if #28 is the last intrument, "HUD")

 

[ClimbDiveIndVert]
Type=BANK_INDICATOR
NodeName=needle_climb-dive_vert
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
ValueUnit=DEG
Set[01].Position=0.0
Set[01].Value=0.0
Set[02].Position=20.0
Set[02].Value=9.0
Set[03].Position=20.0
Set[03].Value=171.0
Set[04].Position=0.0
Set[04].Value=179.99
Set[05].Position=360.0
Set[05].Value=180.01
Set[06].Position=340.0
Set[06].Value=189.0
Set[07].Position=340.0
Set[07].Value=351.0
Set[08].Position=360.0
Set[08].Value=360.0

[ClimbDiveIndHoriz]
Type=PITCH_INDICATOR
NodeName=needle_climb-dive_horiz
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
ValueUnit=DEG
Set[01].Position=0.0
Set[01].Value=-180.0
Set[02].Position=20.0
Set[02].Value=-90.0

Set[03].Value=0.0
Set[04].Position=-20.0
Set[04].Value=90.0
Set[05].Position=0.0
Set[05].Value=180.0

I don't even know if the stock A-4B has this instrument working in SF2 lol
