Eldur Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Anyone else noticed that the INS alignment quality after an ASH alignment is considerably worse than after a full alignment without Stored Heading checked in the ME? Had the TVV and bomb fall line plus corresponding symbology off by up to a degree or two, depending on my heading with the ASH alignment. With the full one which takes 7.5 - 8 minutes ashore, this doesn't occur. Also, see my post here about this issue, has some screenshots Edited March 18, 2019 by Eldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm having the same issue as your pics, and I don't know what happened. It definitely has something to do with INS & the carrier. I don't know much about the ASH alignment though. I always do a Fine INS alignment, but for whatever reason I started getting this issue. i9 9900k @5.1GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z390 E-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Evo 1TB | LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | Reverb G1 | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The DCS F-14 manual states, that an ASH alignment is less accurate than a normal alignment.

Eldur Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Good to know... somehow must have skipped that sentence. Probably since it's within all that RIO stuff and I just read the "pilot's sh!t" first Good enough reason to take that extra wait. Brings up a question though: Is it possible to do the full alignment even with Stored Heading present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings up a question though: Is it possible to do the full alignment even with Stored Heading present? Yeah, it is possible and it's also in the navigation part of the manual, which probably classifies as "RIO shit" :D No further action from the RIO is needed, ASH align will continue and ASH will remain on the TID as an advisory. Pressing once on the STORED HDG ALIGN on the CAP will end the ASH align and initiate normal alignment. The ASH acronym will disappear. Pressing the STORED HDG ALIGN a second time will reinitialize the stored heading alignment, however ASH won’t be displayed on the TID anymore.http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#stored-heading-alignment Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Super Grover Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 On ground, the ASH quality shouldn't be much different from a normal full fine alignment. However, what you described can be a result of various effect: from as simple as selecting GND (align) instead of CVA when performing an alignment on a carrier; but also releasing parking brakes and moving, drift accumulated in flight, or an IMU/INS failure. Being the RIO ain't easy job :). Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
