Emmy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 If anyone can post a screenshot of where this mythical Stored Heading setting lives, I'd appreciate it because like Faks, I can't find it anywhere in relation to the F-16.

Emmy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I’m aware of the knob position in the jet itself... I’m talking about the claimed setting within the ME or the Sim that designates a Jet worthy of using that function.

backspace340 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I don't think there is one / I don't think it needs ticking even if there is one. I was playing some older missions at the weekend (from just after release, so before the INS worked) and just putting the switch to stored heading worked every time - just switch it to that and it'll be aligned and say RDY in 90 seconds or so. No need to enter your current lat/long either like people were discussing earlier in the thread (guess that's only for the full alignment, as it was never needed with stored alignment).

-Painter- Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 @Emmy Sorry for causing confusion - that special option is not there (yet?) in the ME. Stored heading alignment works for any F-16C currently though without the need to have that non-existend special option ticked. For the Tomcat it is that one like in this screenshot attached: Regards REAPER 31 | Painter [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stored heading alignment works for any F-16C currently though without the need to have that non-existend special option ticked. So what do I do if I want to place a Viper that has not been pre-aligned, so that Stored Heading Alignment will not be available?

Badlego Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 What are the consequences when flying Air-2-Ground with a not fully aligned INS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backspace340 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 What are the consequences when flying Air-2-Ground with a not fully aligned INS? Your steerpoints won't be in the right place, distance to steerpoints doesn't work properly, and I'd guess that CCRP won't work properly either (though not sure of that last one).

Dee-Jay Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi! What are the consequences when flying Air-2-Ground with a not fully aligned INS? Speaking IRL, a "non fully" aligned IRS will suffer from increased drift. As long as GPS is good and available, no problems. If you loose the GPS, system position becomes pure inertial and will reflects the IRS's position. Drift is about a nautical miles per hours in nominal ... with a badly aligned IRS, it can be much much more. Overfly FIX or Air-to-Ground radar FIX can help in periodically repositioning the IRS's position on an known coordinate. But won't reduce the internal drift. Regards.
