3-minute Align: When does it start?


Nealius

Recommended Posts

I had been having issues with incorrect compass readings which appear to be linked to not allowing my jet's navigation system align for 3-minutes before takeoff. The Su-25A and Su-25T manuals say nothing about a 3-minute align, and I would like to know when the align time actually starts. Does it start when the electrical system is turned on? When the engines are running at a stable RPM? When?

And when you start in the runway?

 

I think when you do a runway start it assumes that everything is already aligned & good to go.

Personal wish list: DCS: Su-27SM & DCS: Avro Vulcan.

Now I remember an answer from a member of the ED team in an old thread stating the same, so let's trust it.

3 mins?? press right shift + L and wait for the HSI to settle then start the engines... maybe like 20 seconds.

That way the alignment last only for a short time, any hard bank or medium G-load will throw it all off and neither ADI nor HSI will work properly.

OK, so this screenshot I took long ago wasn't really a bug? smile.gif
No, that's a feature. A lot of player still underestimate the sophistication in the two Su-25. You have to keep in mind that the Su-25T and later Su-25A were the very first AFM models back then in FC1 setting the benchmak at that time.
