Broken HUDs (+HMDs + Cockpit MFD Issues)

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) J11B’s HUD need to be remake (Accepted, Forward for review)

Rafale HMS (Open)

VR

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

China

【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

It would be nice if they added more detail to the F15E MFDs.

F15E - WT:

Example:
Captura de pantalla 2025-03-24 171044

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:

Zoom/FoV settings in F8E/F8U cause orange haze to manifest with varying opacity when turning off gunsight, disappearing at maximum zoom and becoming almost impenetrable when fully zoomed out.

Added

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

Honestly I doubt that stuff is fixed even when they say it’s fixed since 9 times out of 10 it actually isn’t fixed. But it got accepted pretty quickly so I guess it shouldn’t be too long until it is fixed for good. (I have no hope)

Yeah, got fixed after about a week last time

Here is one aincent cockpit bug that hasnt been fixed in years, didnt find it in this thread dont know if any jets have sniper mode but same will probably happen.

Cant enter “sniper” mode if cockpit is zoomed out // Gaijin.net // Issues

God yeah that’s been around for ages. Added to the list

Sea Harrier FRS1/FA2 - Missing CCRP Symbology

Tornado GR4 - AGM selects “rocket” sight mode

Tornado Gr1 - AGM Selects “Rocket” sight mode

3 more for your list.

Does it also not show when you cycle through sight modes?

IIRC also some other aircraft currently suffer from sight not automatically change to corresponding mode when selecting weapons…

Doesn’t appear too. I tried everything I could think of to get it to appear

I wish they made it so you had to use you MFD’s like maybe an option to bring your face closer to it? I want them to eventually to be the only thing in sim.

My big thing is that a lot of jets can’t actually fly without the in game hud which is stupid. You should be able to fly with only your instruments

Yeah, I tried with the Typhoon to play HUD-less. but between the resolution issues with the MFDs when zoomed out and the amount of missing information on those MFDs. Its just not possible at this time. Its a real shame.

The next best thing is I would love to have a fully configurable game UI. Get rid of the bits that I didnt want and keep the bits I did, moving and scaling them to make them as least impactful as possible.

Haha, had the same thought, but with the Hornet.

Problem though, for some strange reason, they decided to consider all symbology on the TGP/TV/Seeker view as part of the GUI HUD, so when you deactivate the GUI HUD, you loose all relevant info in those views and see just the scenery!
