HELP: TOS Speed Reference Carrot not Appearing on HUD Speed Tape
-
Gents,
Long-time experienced Falcon sim-pilot. Just returned to Falcon 4.33 after an 18 month break. Was re-familiarizing myself last night by running through the first four tactical exercises when I realized that I was not getting the TOS speed carrot on the HUD speed tape. The training manual was referring to it in great detail but it wasn’t appearing on the HUD. Always been there in the past. So right now the only way I can know whether or not I’m going to be on time is to display the DED on the HUD and select CRUS. Then my HUD gets cluttered.
I experimented with using the TIME feature in an attempt to get the carrot to perhaps reappear but nothing seemed to be working. Is there perhaps a switch I’ve missed? I saw nothing on the UFC or HUD control panel that referred to anything close to a TOS reference bug, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve

The carret needs to be enabled manually via the UFC CRUS page during ramp start in 4.33.

Its not real complicated… behavior of it is exactly the same as it was in 4.32, only difference is that it was M-SELected for you at the start of the sim in 4.32, and its not in 4.33.
Hit 5-CRUS a bunch of times till you see a mode you like, then hit 0-M-SEL to select that mode. RAFM for a full description of each modes functions.
EDIT: RAFM = Read A Functions Manual

TO-BMS1F-16CM-1 p65, CRUS page:
When TOS is not mode selected (it no longer is by default in 4.33 just like in the real jet) no caret is active on the HUD speed tape and ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) is displayed in the HUD.
