[RESOLVED] Ins Position Update

[Boagord]

Hello,

 

When I do a waypoint flyby position update, if I press the REC button wherever inside the radius of 15 nautical miles and then press the VAL button the INS drift will be set to 0. I don't need to fly over the landmark's waypoint.

 

I do my best with my English but here is a video showing this "feature".

This is known, It's how it works atm

I don't think so, Boagord is right IMHO, if you press the REC button if you are within the famous 15 nautical range, the INS will always be updated to the exact geographical position you assigned through the mission editor. This is a fly over position, and it make the INS radar position update useless, no?

I think what Rlaxolo meant was that it is a known bug.

 

Also he agrees that what Boagord described is how it is currently working. When he add "atm" (atm = At the moment) it implies that once the bug is fixed it will work correctly.

Deleted my comment... I see the issue

When english is not our native language, sometimes it can be confusing :smilewink:

Just keeping the peace, it's a Canadian thing, eh?

Thought I was going insane with this. Glad it's confirmed as a bug.

The M200C dev's should take a look at the DCS AJS-37 Viggen to see how it´s supposed to work.

I'm sure they know how it's supposed to work. It just isn't working properly at the moment.

Mirage INS with was working before the viggen has been released...

The Mirage INS has never worked in the sense of doing a correct position update.

Eagerly waiting for RAZBAM solving this issue too. Right now, making INS updates feels like almost cheating.

Has this been fixed?

Nope still there. You can do a fast rampstart poor alignement, and then update INS anywere on your way it will update it perfectly no matter when you push VAL button.

 

Pretty handy to get fast in the here, but pretty cheaty :D

Just to link the bug reports, the problem with INS alignment not working correctly is also reported here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=178914

Or you can just tick "INS always aligned in special options tab" ;P

Yes I can also tick "arcade flight model" to avoid losing speed at high AoA.

Quick question about this : I tried to tick this option the other day in order to do a fast take off without bothering with the 10 minutes aligment. It appears switching directly into NAV mode made the plane unflyable (or at least uncapable following its flight plan) as it indicated correct distance but absolutely wrong compass (north became south ^^) . I tried to use the INS update bug to catch up but REC button wouldn't do anything. Any way I could somehow find a trick to avoid aligment ? (using this method or another ?)

were you flying in January? thats known bug for M2k. Magnetic declination (DEC on INS parameter) instead of around 6 becomes 100 (So in January instead of magnetic bearings you can use True Headings, switch to CV on HSI). Otherwise when u tick that option, all you need to do is to switch mode to NAV and you are good to go (on months other than January)

That would explain everything, thank you very much :D
