Stuck waiting for INS alignment 7

[pacastro]

After last update 2.5.4.30038, in a multiplayer server when I'm autostarting the f14 in a carrier the INS align procedure gets stuck in INS alignment 7 and won't go any further from there. Plane park braked not moved an inch from spawn point.

I had something like this happen prior to this patch. Did you do anything during the auto-start, i.e. rearm & refuel, set waypoints or tacan?

 

Not that those things could cause the hangup, but if I just let it run and did all my stuff before or after, I never had an issue again. Just a thought, I'll let the professionals get specific

Refuel and rearm just before autostart, when ins align count start I'm way past refueling and rearming.

Im having the same issue in MP with the alignment hanging up.

Just FYI, I am not using the auto start sequence.

 

 

I show the 07 on the left side, with the caret that does not move and flashing HS or H5 on the right side, but the caret does not move, nor does the number change.

Note that when aligning, the pilot CANNOT disengage the parking brake. This will halt the alignment process.

wow, good tip thanks. Is this a "real life" situation also?

I mean, yes you need to set the parking brake for alignment to continue (in all modes except CAT).

 

That said, there's a bug I've experienced in multiplayer where sometimes alignment gets stuck and won't continue. Spawning a new aircraft typically resolves the issue.

Hi All,

 

Can someone attempt a carrier cold start on this mission attached, and let me know if the INS alignment works for them? I don't know what's wrong with this mission, but the INS alignment always get stuck at 7 with the flashing "HS". I'm not touching the parking brake at all. When I tell Jester to do a full alignment it ends up getting stuck. I also went to the backseat and switched it to CAINS, but it switches back automatically. If I change the startup to an airfield, everything works correctly. Just for kicks, I lowered the speed of the carrier, but it still gets stuck with the flashing "HS".

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Anybody?

Try having Jester set the datalink radio to the carrier.

Try having Jester set the datalink radio to the carrier.

I'll try that and report back. Thank you.

+1 on this, happens almost always in MP on 107th Through the Inferno server when spawning on carriers.

yep, depending on which slot you choose though. Sometimes jester does an ASH alignment but attitude reference is off by a few degrees and gets progressively worse during flight.

Well I tried this, but unfortunately, it did not work. I've been using elevator 4 so I'll try a different startup position.

I've figured out the issue. The return of the deck sliding is the culprit. I zeroed out the speed of the carrier and everything works. The INS aligns like it used to. I noticed someone has already reported the deck sliding bug so hopefully ED can fixed this again asap.
