Post commande de navigation alignment explained (From FSX metal 2 mesh)

[WildBillKelsoe]

The alignment of the inertial unit must be performed to ensure correct navigation accuracy. The alignment process takes 8 minutes, and the unit should not move throughout the procedure.

The alignment of the inertial unit must be performed to ensure correct navigation accuracy. The alignment process takes 8 minutes, and the unit should not move throughout the procedure.

1) Set the mode selector PSM / MIP on ALN ​​while the implementation selector is in [N]. Note that the NLA indicator light starts flashing.

2) Make sure the button PREP PCN / INS is pressed and lit.

3) Press the INS button on the keypad, the button will start flashing.

4) Change the settings dial to L / G to enter the latitude and longitude coordinates. To this phase, first select N (2) or O (8) on the numeric keypad, to program the system in North or South. You will see a display on the digital display and you can enter your geographical coordinates.

Latitude position consists of 6 digits, 2 for each couple of degrees, minutes and seconds, each couple will be inserted upside down.

For example: if you want to insert the N41.34.58 contact information, you have to enter 2 for the North, and 85 58 seconds, 43 for 34 minutes and finally 14 to 41 degrees.

Similarly, you can enter latitude coordinates. Using the keypad, press E (4) or W (6) according to your position. These coordinates will be displayed on the right side of the digital display. In the case of latitude, there will be 7 digits, not six, for the simple reason that there is here a 180 ° field. Just like latitude, you will need to enter these numbers upside couples.

For example: if you want to insert the N004.43.24 details, you need to enter 4 in the east and 42 to 24 seconds, 34 for 43 minutes and finally 400 to 004 degrees.

5) Once you have entered the coordinates in latitude and longitude, you need to insert them in the inertial panel by pressing the INS button on the keypad and thus save them.

6) Change of parameters now the ALT selector to enter the altitude.

7) To enter the altitude, press the INS button keypad and it will start flashing. This will enter the altitude as the coordinates, reversely.

For example: For an altitude of 319 feet, tap the keypad 913 followed by zero until the system fills the remaining 6 spaces and repeat this action on the right left digital display by 7 zeros . You will then screen on your digital 000319 0000000

8) Once the entrance altitude, you need to press INS on the keypad. You will see the function button to turn VAL.

9) It is only since that VAL button is pressed as the alignment of the inertial guidance can begin.

10) To check and ensure that the alignment is in progress, you can select with the PSM / PIM including the implementation of STS selector function. You will then see the countdown on the value of the left and then increasing this value up to 100. The alignment takes 8 minutes and at the end, you should be able to read 02.00.00 100, and now, seeing the NLA will go off and the READY indicator will light in turn. From that moment, the alignment of the inertial unit is completed.

11) Once the alignment is complete, you can select your PSM / MIP with your new mode of implementation selector [N] and spend your ALN mode switch to NAV to start the module data loading insertion parameters (for now, the flight planner FSX) or even manually via the parameter L / G on the keypad of the NCP / INS.

not sure if it applies to DCS as well.. sorry should've put these words in first post..

 

Well I tried but can't get it to work. Is it implemented? 8)

 

also note the coords are punched right to left not lat/long, min, sec.

8 Minutes ... damn

 

I could take a shower while It's aligning

Razbam stated in their interview that they want to keep things playable, so when the INS works, no 8 minute alignment..

[Sarge55]

Actually I think they said you would have an option to have realistic or arcade setting for INS alignment.

[nomdeplume]

INS alignment and drift, and PCN are not yet implemented.

They should,keep,the 8 minutes, it's bad enough already with the fc3 aircraft getting off the ground in 1 min, this is not a twitch shooter.

[WildBillKelsoe]

I certainly hope they keep it as real as the rest of the systems modelled.

I agree 100%.

 

If someone wants to just jump in and take off because of time constraints or just can't wait don't do a ramp start. Start on runway, why are they ramp starting if they don't have time to align?

Guys, please don't start again. Debate was held, decision was made.

It's on the forum, read it if you like :)
