Or they turn it off selectively over some area. Plus these days you have glossnass and gallileo.

 

 

Yes, but those systems are rarely used commercially.

 

 

The vast majority of commercial shipping for instance, uses only GPS.

 

 

Theoretically they could still use the sextant but I fear that knowledge is decreasing by the minute.

 

 

Some commercial vessels have Glonass but it's a distinct minority. Galileo is hardly used at all I think.

Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3

Give it a few years and most receivers will have all 3 and be able to use combinations of those satellites to get even better accuracy. In fact the GPS/Glos/Gal watch I'm wearing does all that. I'm sure commercial shipping will have this sooner rather than later.

New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1)

Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Except that commercial equipment must be type approved, and is therefore expensive.

 

 

Most owners won't bother installing new equipment unless there is a very good reason / obligation.

manually align via TCN when on the REDFOR side.

 

Can you expand please? I was not aware that the Hornet had INS simulated. We don't even have IFA (if you put it on IFA then your position gets inverted), we don't have AINS (aided INS, similar to EGI). What do you mean by align via TCN?

Stay safe
