Overview: Integrated Helmet and Display
Sight System (IHADSS)
Longbow
Of the three helicopters in
Longbow 2
, only the AH-64D itself has an IHADSS
system. (The Kiowa has a simpler head-up display called the Pilot’s Display Unit
— see p. 2.48 for details.)
The IHADSS is a system that superimposes data onto a small eye display mounted
on the wearer’s helmet. In the game, it appears as a bright green assortment of
digital readings and electronic bar gauges in the middle of your viewscreen at all
times.
The IHADSS has four modes of operation —
Hover, Bob-Up, Transition
and
Cruise
. Each IHADSS mode best applies to a certain situation, such as when
you’re navigating or hovering. (See IHADSS Flight Symbology, p. 2.14, for mode
symbology.)
