Uxi Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I've been flying the Tomcat 95% of the time with a little bit of SU-27, and I keep getting this error and have been waiting more than 9-10 minutes. Then I tried the Cold Start and had the same thing (obviously this needs to be updated). Then I found this thread. I'll have to try the IFA for a bit.

norman99 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Can anyone confirm whether INS drift is currently modeled when GPS is unavailable? I see alot of conflicting opinions on this, so something more official would be appreciated. Also, will ground radar waypoint updating be implemented in the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Without GPS, the INS will drift in NAV. You can even use alternate position-keeping modes like POS/TCN, though it won't be super accurate.

dresoccer4 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 hi there. trying to figure this out, do I have the correct sequence of events? 1) start up plane 2) turn selector to GND 3) press stored heading on HSI 4) wait 90 seconds 5) turn selector to IFA 6) good to go is this right?

Uxi Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Yeah sounds right for ground. On a carrier though, CV didn't work with stored heading and I had to IFA and it took almost to the second waypoint on the canned cold start mission before INS DEGO went away.

I use off carriers all the time. Either something missed in procedure or something weird with the mission if it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Could you try the premade ED Suppercarrier cold start mission maybe? I select it on the HSI page and nothing happens. I'll see about getting it in on one of my missions in the ME.

Whilst technically feasible if the aircraft hast been moved since shutdown, the chances of getting into a jet that hasn't are probably very low, given almost all aircraft would be re-spotted by ground crew after recovery or prior to launch.

I'll see about getting it in on one of my missions in the ME. Just tried it on both the Caucus and PG versions of the Supercarrier cold start and it works as expected. You won't see a lot on the HSI page other than the STD HDG will become boxed (and one of the "tails" will move to 0 deg when you ALGN CV, then down to about 220 deg when you hit STD HDG. Other than that the QAUL number will decline much faster and around the 1:30 counter mark you'll be at QUAL 0.5 OK. 1st thing to check if you're not getting proper alignment on the carrier is to make sure you keep the parking brake on until you're aligned (doesn't matter if you don't move, if you take it off it will mess with your alignment). And of course, moving it to IFA when finished aligning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Gents, sometimes STD HDG option does not appear for me on the bottom of the HSI, so nothing to box in fact. What can be the reason for that? Can't remember precisely, what did I do wrong, but it might have been that I rushed the alignment before even starting up left engine? And I guess I could never get back STD HDG again, even if I switched INS OFF and back on to CV again. Don't remember if I tried to "recover" it after L ENG started or not... Anyone with a better memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tholozor Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 IIRC the option is only available during the first 2 minutes of the alignment, and I think becomes invalid if the carrier turns, but if the carrier is moving straight i have no problems with it.

VFA41_Lion Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 this may not have been obvious before, but the player/client F/A-18 needs to either be from the USA nation, or in a coalition with the USA in it to be able to access GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
