TheNumberJ Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hello, sorry if this is something dumb I'm doing on my end; I just picked up the M2000 this weekend... but I've tried to follow several guides including the M2000 guide from RAZBAM but I can't seem to turn on the INS to accept input for initial alignment. Testing in a custom mission on Syria. Battery is On. On the PSM I select VEI for the mode selector; and set PCN Operational mode to N... at this point every guide/tutorial says the PCN should be ready for input; but the LCD screens never turn on. I was only able to faintly see the LCD screens after fully starting the engine. I could not find any way to turn up the brightness on the PCN display. Any ideas? Am I missing a step for power? or is this a new bug with 2.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convexrook Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 from their patch notes you can see that INS alignment process has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNumberJ Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yes, I saw the patch notes. I had tried the TST/Lum dial, but it didn't seem to do anything, LCDs still stayed dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC PCN now requires ground power or the engine running. Not sure why you can't read the LCD as they are usually quite bright - the PCN does have it's own brightness control. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does line up with me only being able to faintly see it after getting the engine on. Perhaps at that point I has already messed with the TST/Lum dial and turned it way down without realizing.

stoop Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I have a similar issue, I can't get the digits to come up on the INS display. I have tried 2 different startup procedures (which must be out of data as they came out before 2.7) and nothing works. By accident I did get the display to come up (no idea what I pressed) but even then the number son the keypad did nothing - are they supposed to be animated because they are not moving when I press them - neither do the PREP and DEST buttons. If anyone can point to a Post 2.7 INS alignment tutorial that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice; but we might be waiting a bit seeing as 2.7 came out less than a week ago. Does make it a bit more difficult for those of us who picked up the M2000 on the 2.7 Launch Sale... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this one in French AFAIK nothing much has changed with alignment other than than the need to use WP 1-20 for the initial alignment i.e. • enter initial co-ordinates and altitude into PREP 20 • validate to start the alignment • switch to Nav mode once complete Edited April 19, 2021 by Ramsay 1 i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played around a bit more and can get the digits to come up and kick off the INS alignment process I think but I don't see a countdown percentage like the old Grim Reapers video shows and have no real clue when/if the alignment has completed.

To check the alignment put the PSM to STS, or check che ALN light in the PCN: Yellow Blinking: not started Yellow Steady: aligning Green Blinking: aligned class 4 Green Steady: aligend class 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
