Landing and takeoff without hud

Hello I have noticed that like most planes in real life dont have a hud and they land even without and i wonder how do i like know that i am moving in the correct heading while landing and know the pitch and like rudder neeeded to maintain center line

You can typically only land without the HUD if the aircraft has a live cockpit, unless you are highly skilled and experienced and can just use the status bar for measurements

So like with a an a350 hod do i land on center line like real pilots , what they really do

Real Pilots under go countless Training hours, most of us are just regular people flying in a flight sim.

I am doing this now for several years. Landing with a HUD if not available in the real AC feels wrong for me. In addition it also requires more skill and more „intuitiveness“ to master a plane. Give it a try, provided the AC has live instruments.

I would definitely recommend it, simply because it dos take more skill and is therefore more rewarding when you successfully do it. Just practice several in Solo mode before trying it in expert.

Its all about skill really. Id practice landings by going into short final in solo. Remember, small adjustments only.

Just keep practicing. Do you think real pilots are perfect at first?

So real pilots dont have like a certain button were they align it to the taxi way or runway

And for the people who trainex for years what exactly do you do

Not sure what there is to say.. you just try your best, stay on the papis, and also maintain a constant approach speed.

Do you mean autoland?

Also, doing HUD landings for a long time is like training wheels on a bike. After a while you get used to it, and wont need it.

Hello. I place great importance on reality, so I always check if the airline’s aircraft actually have HUD options. If the model does not have a HUD, it will not turn on the HUD at all even within the game, and only check the instrument panel and PAPI lighting during the flight. If you practice, it will work out. Concentration is important. If you land without a HUD, focus solely on safely landing by aligning the center line. Observing aircraft waiting for takeoff too intensely or viewing the scenery around the airport can hinder a stable and smooth landing. Just follow the actual procedures.

And what is AC
