I can see it now, F-22 added in the future and the HUD is just a black screen but any reports are shot down because they haven’t added an unclassified flight manual which simply doesn’t exist.
Also they should be using checklists when developing aircraft. For example so many HUDs are missing functions and it seems that the particular developer working on the HUD just enables stuff from memory, and almost always forgets something. To avoid this everything should be enabled by default, and stuff should be disabled afterwards by the developer. For example the Hornets right now are missing target marker diamonds in the HUD in TWS. This is terrible for me as a sim player. And it could take up to 2 years before it’s enabled through bug reports.
Maybe you as a GM would have a channel to communicate this important thing to the developers?
got a new one for you haven’t made a report for it, but with my a6e the sight is screwed up and has the bomb sight stuck on it in standard and bombs mode (rockets mode is fine)
Nevermind about making a report for the Hornet’s missing TWS soft lock radar box from the HUD. I decided to make a quick report with just some in-game screenshots.
All F/A-18’s missing TWS lock box on HUD
Thought I might as well see if it will be accepted with just that given the lack of documents that are fully declassified and sources that they approve of to prove it’s a bug.
[Edit] Ok then it just got accepted and forwarded to the devs, hopefully something comes of it.

Cool, added my “+1” too, of course.
Btw, do you also notice that when in TWS and having soft locked a target, trying to hard lock it, often (feels like 75% and more…) the hard lock fails, and the target for a few seconds disappears completely from the radar screen?

Wha’?!?
I got several report open (including the ones I mentioned here today) which never got looked at.
Yeah all the time, some days it works fine but some days it just refuses to lock properly.
Yeah I am surprised too. I asked if Smin could bump it and before he saw it it got accepted. Was surprised himself aswell. Just seems like whether your reports are seen relies on pure luck tbh.
It’s amazing that another update in a row and we still can’t get the basic VR related bugs fixed, in the new machines HMD deadzone is the same as for the old machines with no changes whatsoever which is still not usable ( bugs with the EF hud has also not been fixed, still also no on-board weapon sight on the hud ) . With all the money raised on pre-orders and machines for 80 euros, developers still can’t afford to buy VR goggles to test the update before its release? @Smin1080p_WT

Hehe, if the availability of VR goggles is the issue: I’d even be willing to invest a bit in a crowdfunding project…

Su27 and SM HMD donuts only show up inside the front canopy ring if you zoom, and the lock crosshairs rarely appear when looking at normal magnification behind the canopy ring. Still.
And the EF2000 STILL has the deadzone from 12 to 10 o’clock, meaning you cannot IFF or lock anything for almost 2/3rds of your gimbal limit, and I have to hold a right banking turn to try to lock IR and ARHs.
And TV missiles/targeting pod screens are still jarring, jerky, and disorienting.

Awesome working through some of the bug reports collected from the Dev Server and the TWS lock box seems to be working on the F/A-18 HUD now.
Would be nice now for the other radar lock boxes to be fixed for the AV-8B+, AMX and JHMCS for the F-16C/C Barak/D/F-15C/E equivalents/F/A-18C.

Actually in the Su-27s the HMD lock crosshairs do appear…for the fraction of a second before your entire HUD disappears. <3
Gone through my list of bug reports collected during the Dev Server. I am pleased to say that a few issues have been fixed from then including some issues present before the Dev Server.
However as expected there is still a large number of issues are still present on Live including some new ones found after the release of update Hornet’s Sting. Here’s the changes made to the list:
HUD
US
[DEV] F-18C Late wrong HUD
[Dev] Filenames indicated on MFD’s and HUD (F/A-18C early)
Great Britain
Sea Harrier (All) Using wrong HUD (Fixed!!! (Added in update Hornet’s Sting))
Second Sea Harrier wrong HUD report (Fixed!!! (Added in update Hornet’s Sting))
Sea Harrier HUD gunsight starts in the wrong location (Open)
[DEV] Sea Harrier FRS1e/FRS1/FA2 - New HUD Issues (Open)
Ha I bet you thought the new Sea Harrier HUD’s would actually be finished when added. It’s more likely to win the lottery than have a Harrier Fix.
China
[DEV] J-11B HUD - IR Seeker Circle & Track Indicator (Bug) (Accepted)
(DEV) J11B’s HUD need to be remake (Accepted, Forward for review)
France

Rafale HMS (Open)
VR
US
[Dev] F/A-18 Hornet: inversed positioning of radar lock boxes (Forward to Devs)

【Dev】JF17 Cockpit screen display wrong view (Open)
As always if there’s any reports of HUD/VR/Cockpit/HMD/MFD issues please reply with the link and I will add it to the list.
Also it would be great if everyone could check out the reports in the list and support them by commenting or just by clicking “I have the same issue”.

I am glad that they finally got to the AH-1Z CCIP for rockets working in cockpit view. Unfortunately in the process they somehow removed (point of interest icon that was working fine without the aiming reticle) so now you have no clue where your POI is in cockpit view. Can we please fix things without breaking others? D it Gaijin I just want to use my Viper through the cockpit with stuff working!
I just was able to get it to show up but it isnt where my actual point of interest is at all? It is off to the left underneath the base icon while my POI is to my 3 o clock.

Made a reports about F/A-18 hud
Added.
Also added a report for the Tornado GR.4 HUD naming of the AIM-9’s.
Tornado GR.4 AIM-9 naming on HUD broken
This isn’t a HUD per se, as it’s a simple gyro gunsight.
However:

Was gunna say. I thought I had already reported that and it has been fixed 🤣
But embarrassed that I didn’t even notice when playing the GR4 yesterday. Normally I spot things like that instantly
