Don't show Master Caution light for altitude alerts

[viral spade]

Stop Master Caution light activating for Altitude alerts. That light should only concern mechanical problems.

[tardy crow]

isn't the point of the master caution light to warn you of ANYTHING that can cause issues

[viral spade]

That light is annoying since it shouldn’t illuminate unless something is damaged on the jet. The altitude alert is vocal anyway so no visual is needed.

[spice oxide]

That us the entire point of it yes

[spice oxide]

You’re approaching your maximum altitude or the hard deck

Of course the system is gonna display it as a caution.

[viral spade]

Not in real jets so I want it to be realistic

[spice oxide]

Womp.
Womp.

[tardy crow]

also having it be tied to the master caution allows me to tell betty to shut up😅

[spice oxide]

[viral spade]

Betty comes back on immediately so I have no use for it to also bug me visually.

[spice oxide]

womp womp

[glass estuary]

you can turn it off lol

go in options and theres a thing to set minimum altitude, just set it to 0

[azure basin]

There’s literally altitude warnings in real jets fuck you on?

You can literally turn it off too if you adjust your alert altitude

“I have no use for it so no one gets it”

Stupid ass argument

[magic gyro]

F-16 GWPS Enters the chat

[neon coyote]

……

Yeah in real jets

Also just turn it off

The real jets do like in the video. That is correct. The falcon however isn’t illuminating its Master Caution in this case since no system on the jet is malfunctioning. The Master Caution light is there to alert you to look at the alarm panel further down in the pit to see what the problem is. For example a hit in the hydraulics would light a Hyd light and the alarm panel would then activate the Master Caution light.
I’ll set the alt alert to zero if possible.

[magic gyro]

True but until there’s. GCAS / GWPS system added the next best thing is a caution alert

[spice oxide]

Or yk

Leaving it as is because we don’t need to make a brand new system for something that works pretty well?

[magic gyro]

Exavtly

[viral spade]

Pretty well from my perspective would be a relevant Master Caution which alerts you to system faults like loss of oxygen or fuel leak. Not alert you that Bitching Betty is screaming in your ear in case you are deaf.

[azure basin]

Again, this entire forum boils down to “I don’t like how the current thing that works fine for everyone else is so I want it changed”

Literally just set your alt warning to zero while you’re starting up

It ain’t that hard bro bro

[viral spade]

I'd like the dev Baha to see this and decide wether it is a bug or as designed. Backseat devs (players) shouldn't cancel an idea or suggestion, only the dev himself.

[scenic flicker]

It’s definitely not a bug

[maiden sphinx]

You could just edit the max and min height in the settings of the MFD

[formal tundra]

im pretty sure he wants to keep the warnings, just not have them illuminate the master caution

[raw egret]

Don't show Master Caution light for altitude alerts

[near girder]

so your not mad about the plane yelling at you, your mad because a light comes on in your plane that just says master caution?

[viral spade]

That's what I meant yeah. My english isn't great LOL 🙂

[neon coyote]

i mean............. there's a reason that we're able to respond to these and react

also i partially agree with the light not showing, but at the same time i feel it should be optional if anything

[viral spade]

Yeah but the reactions to the suggestion felt a bit hostile as if you all want me to delete it.

[neon coyote]

based on how everything was worded people were telling you to change your alt warning to 0 as it would do the same job

[neon coyote]

the way i see it, these backseat devs are the ones paying and playing the game

so it's a great thing that the developer is giving us a voice in how the game will go

[main sierra]

You can turn it off in vehicle options

[dense fable]

cant you already adjust this by changing your min and max altitude?

[main sierra]

Yes

[dense fable]

yeah i thought so

[formal tundra]

You goobers don't even try to read the suggestion

[formal tundra]

They want to keep the warning itself, just not have the master caution illuminate

[main sierra]

Its exactly like that

Instead of it saying altitude it says pull up

It is a master caution over all, but it is adjustable

[dense fable]

Ohh well that could be on the hud along with bingo. Somewhere.

I wish there was a declutter knob for the f14

[spice oxide]

I mean

there kinda is

[dense fable]

Also the statement they made about the master caution was it should only show for mechanical issues. It's not that we don't understand the statement. It's that it was poorly portrayed. It mentions nothing about the need or want of altitude caution on the hud or anywhere else. Just that the MC should be for mechanical issues..

[spice oxide]

it's called going into TSD and turning off GRND, AIR and MSSL

[dense fable]

That's what I thought

[spice oxide]

then keeping radar HUD off

and you should be good 👍

[dense fable]

Thank you! But I meant like an actual knob like the other jets have lol .

[spice oxide]

your declutter is manual

no knob

F45 doesn't have declutter either

nor the AH94

[dense fable]

Am I having a fever dream. I swear one of them did

[spice oxide]

only the FA26 and AV42 does

[dense fable]

Gotcha

[spice oxide]

T55 should get it as well

though if the EF24 DOES get declutter

it should turn it from the EF24 hud to the F14B hud
