Authentic Russian artificial horizon
« on: September 15, 2013, 02:04:35 PM »
Russian artificial horizons work differently from western ones.  This is largely cosmetic in our perpetually VFR world, but it would still be nice to see.

why confuse things.  it's fine the way the horizon is displayed now.  it's like trying to force people to stop using the invert rudder option just because that's how it's used in RL.

We have altimeters, compasses, ASIs, gear and flap indicators, engine instruments, and so on that approximate national practice on the various planes.  Why should the artificial horizon be different?
