OK, now we need a proper INS alignment procedure.

Doesn't work at ALL for me. Not at all. As soon as ENT is press, MVAR resets to 0.

 

That is correct. You will need to switch to IFA/NAV once alignment is complete in order to see entered MVAR.

The AV-8B engine is so powerful that without the parking brake the aircraft tends to move forward.

 

Then why do we have to increase RPM significantly to 42+% to even get moving at all? Clearly something is not correct then rainbowdashwink.png

 

BTW I came here because I have issues with the alignment process. I RTFM

 

1. Make sure that the INS mode selector is in the OFF position. pinkie-approved.png

2. Select EHSD o the MPCD (either left or right). pinkie-approved.png

3. Select DATA on the MPCD. pinkie-approved.png

4. Select AC (aircraft data) on the MPCD. pinkie-approved.png

a. Aircraft present position will be shown. Nope! All 00s

b. UFC/ODU will enter Aircraft Position mode. pinkie-approved.png

c. The following ODU options are available:

i. Option 1: POS (Lat/Lon position coordinates).

ii. Option 2: MVAR (Local magnetic variation).

iii. Option 3: WIND (Wind Direction and Speed).

iv. Option 4: SHIP (Carrier heading and speed).

v. Option 5: THDG (Aircraft true heading). pinkie-approved.png

5. Enter AC initial present position (IPP) latitude and longitude. Done! Now the coords show up, but usually the last value is one less than entered. aj-hm.png

6. Enter local magnetic variation (MVAR) if the value shown is 0. Same! Entered 6.0, shows 5.9! aj-hm.png

7. Place the INS mode selector knob in the selected alignment mode: SEA< GND, IFA or GYRO. The

alignment process will start immediately if the required data has been entered. All that happens is the EHSD page turning completely black... aj-hm.png

 

Edit: I just waited for long enough and switched to NAV and it worked... must check my lua files, I guess somethings off there pinkiepieexcited.png
