mrmat01 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 G'day I am loosing radar lock & tracks mostly while flying straight & level:(l. When this happened the word ALIGN is flashing on the hud:huh:. To get thing to work again I have to jink the jet. I start the jet using auto start & sit & wait until it says alignment completed & auto start complete. Is this a bug or am I stuffing thigs up?:confused: Any help would be bonza.

Exorcet Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Make sure the INS knob is switched from NORM to NAV after alignment and before you start moving.

Frederf Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Check the position of the alignment knob. Make sure you aren't moving the knob yourself if you're using the cheat autostart or both your input and the autostart input might move the switch to an unexpected position. It's OK (and even beneficial) to taxi with the switch in ALIGN, just make sure to set it to NAV before takeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvsgas Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Are Auto Nav and NARF implemented ? I have never heard of either term, could you please elaborate? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Ithink so. Auto nav is automatically ans temporarily switching to nav while moving eg taxiing. NARF they say yes I guess you check by taxi mid align and see if status reduces after you stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph21 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have never heard of either term, could you please elaborate? If NAV mode is supportable (at least steady RDY/ALIGN indication), INU will switch internally to NAV mode (even though INS function knob stay in STOR HDG or NORM position) if it detects any motion that would degrade alignment in progress. This is called AUTO-NAV. For a NORM alignment, if INU subsquently detects no motion, it will automatically activate a pseud align mode called Nav Auto Realign Feature (NARF), resulting in improved INU unaided navigation accuracy, particularly if aircraft have been taxied to a new heading at least 45° different from original alignment heading. AUTO-NAV/NARF operation will continue as long as NORM is selected. A full performance NORM alignment can be continued once the aircraft remain stationary by selecting NAV mode and then reselecting NORM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 As far as I can tell EIA is the only way to get status 6. 10 is the best on a single heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
