kashmir Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Preface: This is an awesome feature!! When I first got into the cockpit on MP, the initial position on the kneeboard matched that on my F2 & F10 views. However, after arming, the values on the kneeboard changed and were way off from my actual position. In the screenshot the data in the INS was from the kneeboard before arming and matches the information on the F2 & F10 views. As you can see the kneeboard information is incorrect. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CrashO Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Possibly related bug: Today I jumped in a Mirage that already had a waypoint (1) set per mission settings. Changed it to something else, flew the sortie and then landed. After (hot) re-arming, I noticed the way-point (1) had changed back to the default coordinates it had on entering the plane.

Azrayen Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 "Here" suspiciously makes me think of the old (0,0,0) coordinates of the first Crimea/Caucasus map :doh: :smartass:
DArt Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 It is not there but around sevastopol if I correctly remember ;) [ https://www.lotatc.com ]
Azrayen Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Damn. Really? Too bad, would have been a nice explaination...
kashmir Posted December 19, 2016 Author Posted December 19, 2016 I have noticed another strange happening. If rearming completes while I am inputting data into the INS, it just erases what I am inputting and fills the block with the incorrect position shown on the kneeboard. I only noticed it on the latitude block, but I didn't have any information in the longitude block at the time. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Destroyer37 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Isnt the kneeboard Lat long format incorrect for the INS? Specs:Fractal Design Define R5 Black, ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E, Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake @ 5.1 GHz, MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X, Corsair H110i, G.Skill TridentZ 32GB (2x16GB), Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500GB SSD
spiddx Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Nope, kneeboard gives the correct decimal format. Specs: i9 10900K @ 5.1 GHz, EVGA GTX 1080Ti, MSI Z490 MEG Godlike, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600, Win 10, Samsung S34E790C, Vive, TIR5, 10cm extended Warthog on WarBRD, Crosswinds
kashmir Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 After the latest update my waypoints all reset after re-arming. Anyone else? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CrashO Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 After the latest update my waypoints all reset after re-arming. Anyone else? Has been doing this since 3 updates ago.
kashmir Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 I hadn't noticed this until the latest two updates, when they released the kneeboard with initial position. Do we know if there are plans to fix it? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
S D Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The initial kneeboard position is correct, but it then seems to change once your aircraft is up and running.
PE_Tigar Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Yep - the game does that. But in reality I imagine that your INS drift would be pretty high after landing. So you get a choice between a reset (as it is now) and large drift (how it should be in reality) - in both cases the remedy is new alignment. So - for me - a minor niggle.
Veritech Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Check the manual guys: After repairing the aircraft you need a FULL alignment. After rearming you need a partial one. Page 94 of the manual. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Alis Aquilae Aut Pax Aut Bellum" Veritech's DCS YouTube Channel
kashmir Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Check the manual guys: After repairing the aircraft you need a FULL alignment. After rearming you need a partial one. Page 94 of the manual. Yes, but the initial position on the kneeboard and INS waypoint 00 changes abrubltly as soon as rearming is complete...even if I just got done with a full alignment. The memory alignment doesn't appear to work properly after rearming either as the 00 waypoint is no longer correct after memory alignment. Also, all of the waypoints reset to all zeros after rearming is complete. These issues did not exist until the last update. Are there any plans to investigate this and/or fix by the next update?

If it happens I haven't realized. I'll check today and I'll let you know. Regarding the kneeboard INS coordinates, I am aware that sometimes is a tad inaccurate, so next time I'm flying I'll take a screenshot and I'll submit it to the bugs report.

kashmir Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Veritech, the initial position on the kneeboard is dead nuts accurate until the second the rearming is complete and then it goes upwards of 5 whole degrees off. Same with waypoint 00 in the INS that I had just programmed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Veritech Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I had it being inaccurate from the first start up a few times. I'll take a look into it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Alis Aquilae Aut Pax Aut Bellum" Veritech's DCS YouTube Channel
