Could the HUD be made a little smaller, a bit like the Boeing fold down screen? 5 degree marks on the horizon and pitch scales would be great.

The Nav and App functions do not work in the Learjet but the manual nav' radios are super!:cool:

You can adjust the HUD slider in settings to make is larger or smaller.

Thanks, I found the new HUD items menu once the HUD had been enabled. If the HUD is too small it seems to not show the minus 10 degrees pitch line well. The HUD slider control does not seem to do anything.
Doing an ILS with the HUD on is so easy, the flight path vector symbol reponds much faster than the Vertical Speed Indicator and fine pitch adjustment is really clear.
I wonder if a HUD is allowed in an initial Instrument Rating test?, it would be like driving an automatic versus a manual gears car.

Well done HUD provides the only direct information to properly fly an aircraft whatever it is. Implementing as standard has been Dr Klopfstein's long life struggle. But he was largely misunderstood and in some cases the HUD, when implemented, was suboptimal.
