INS alignment

INS dont align properly when you set a mission in January.

Both in OpenAlpha and stable DCS version.

Could you possibly be a little more specific..?

hmmm not sure if this is linked to "January", but i know the HOT start m2000s are not aligned properly anymore

I doubt very much that January has anything to do with it, but unless the OP gives us some more information we can't really figure out anything.

Well just try to set a mission in january and proceed to your INS alignement: you will never have the good headings on your HUD.

Problem is there with hot start aswell.

Tryed with all the others months and january is the one and only were i meet this bug.

I'll check but I also need a copy of the mission you are using.

I confrim, mission time january INS wont align properly

LOL, now that's a funny bug :lol:

January of which year? It might have something to do with how declination is calculated.

That's apparently still the problem in DCS 1.5.6.1938.247, the campaign has a few missions affected by this.

From the manual, the declination should be editable, but I couldn't change it (other similar posts say the same). Is there a special procedure? The manual is pretty discreete regarding the PCN ;) but I suppose editing this value is in the WIP part?

Yes, IRL it is editable.

No, no special procedure.

I'm not sure it's WIP.

Given DCS map sizes at this time (+ technical differences between old/new map) I'm not sure editing DEC is needed.

I mean, without this bug, would you have tried? ;)

There are other things to do with higher priority (IMO) than to make DEC user-editable.

Az'

I feel no need to change the DEC - except when I fly in January ;) but that's temporary.

I would probably have tried if I had taken the time to test everything while reading the manual, it's a tiny bit confusing to say it's editable, but nothing serious.

... and the date in the mission is editable, so we know what to do :D
