Anyway of changing EHSI to TRK up versus HDG up?

[dornier]

Hi,

Is there a way to change HDG up to TRK up on the EHSI?

Thanks,

George

Hi George,

I know that this is an option that airlines can set by adjusting some pins in the E&E compartment of the plane. I will put this on the list of feature requests, even though I firmly believe that flying with track up is wrong, wrong, wrong and doing the devils work!

Cheers, Jan

Just to learn something more...could you pls explain a bit more about this? Why is so wrong? Thanks

Find on aviation forums: " Breaking out of cloud near 2 airfields with similar runways, Hdg-up will immediately tell you which is the wrong one-Track-up could actually confuse you as the Runway nomination may not match the way the compass says you are Heading.". It two religion with adepts of TRK and HDG )))

You could also argue that having track up presents a more immediate display of where the aircraft's actually heading. My point is that either side is arguable.

I'm firmly on the "heading up" side, but I'd welcome this as a configurable option, at the very least to aid in simulating the configurations used by certain airlines.

If you want heading up buy an Airbus!

oh you also get a free tray table, fighterstick and an ergonomically designed Flightdeck! Lol..

You rapidly get used to either in the real world so not a major issue except during the transition.
