solved "No GPS Position" ?

So sometimes when running the PG map or even caucuses I'm greeted with a "No GPS Position" when I boot up the G430*

(popup version)

Is there a remedy for this or something to do in the Mission Editor?

The waypoints and flight plan load, however it says No GPS Position on all of the NAV pages.

I normally only see this shortly after getting in a plane and starting up. And it only lasts a few minutes for me.

What is the mission's date and nationality of your Gazelle ?

You may need to use "Options>Gameplay --> Unrestricted SATNAV = " if flying as a non-NATO country.

Testing 27th March 1994 gave "NO GPS POSITION" as expected for DCS (i.e. prior to 28th March 1994)

Testing 29th March 1994 using a French Gazelle SA-342L at  Bassel Al-Assad, everything was as expected.

Tested using DCS 2.7.17.29140

Genius. It was the unrestricted SATNAV tick box. Faction is "Blue Coalition" 21/12/21

"Genius" is the new "thank you".

Thanks for your feedback, @COMDZERO.

Ha it is a bad habit picked up from work to use "genius" in stead of "thank you". I also speak a dialect made up of mostly acronyms to the horror of my wife and friends.

Are the USA part of Blue Coalition in that mission? I think GPS (without unrestricted satnav checked) only works for the coalition that has the USA with them (and is set after 1994).

No it is literally just blue coalition with Georgia as a partner. Considering the US controls the GPS constellation, it makes sense to have nothing without the USA in the coalition. Checks out once I applied some logic from the real world.
