Hi,
I would like to know if use of the Mini-HUD is allowed. At view angels aft of ten/two o'clock I find it easier to judge roll inputs with help of the Mini HUD. I'm not sure though, I still haven't fount "my way". Does any one of you use it?
Thanks, Dirty

A good pilot would never "disregard" their instruments. They are vital when flying any platform. I think the point Burner was trying to make is that the mini HUD doesnt give us everything we really need to look at (i.e. power settings/fuel). I personally find it as a distraction like LawnDart said due to the fact I need to be so focused on my lead and left wing to stay in left delta. Like Burner mentioned, if we need to cross-check our instrument we can push numpad 0 for a quick reference check if we have the time just as I am sure the real Thunderbirds do.

...after a couple of flights I also start finding the mini-HUD distracting. OK, it gives you some attitude information, but a trained eye looking at lead will give you a lot more info in a lot less time!
...so, no more mini-HUD for me.
