Puzzlemaker Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 What is the yellow and purple little... target I suppose on the nav ball?Do you know what I am talking about? What do they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moach Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 the yellow is something pilots call the 'TVV' or (True Velocity Vector) - in other words, it points to where you're really going - the one with the X inside is the 'backwards' marker, which is the same, but well... backwards :the purple one uses the same logic - and it's supposed to be a flight-director, a thingy that tells you where to point the nose in order to reach a certain waypoint - but since we don't have waypoints at the moment, it just points towards the launchpad:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzlemaker Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Awesome, thanks man.Although I have a question... What's the difference between a velocity vector and a TVV?Also, is there eventually going to be a way to see your acceleration too? Maybe a little line coming from the TVV point that shows which direction your accelerating in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBits Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Although I have a question... What's the difference between a velocity vector and a TVV?VV is where you are pointing.TVV is where you are actually going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moach Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 your acceleration can be gauged by the g-force indicator, if you see it move, then you must be doing something which causes accel... that whole interface is gonna be reworked at some point, so don't sweat it - eventually there may be a proper gauge for it :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Barrett Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Basically the more lined-up they are, the more accurate they are to which angle/direction you are trying to fly at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
