Kercheiz Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi, I know how to align the INS by flying over a known waypoint, using the REC / VAL buttons. The documentation says : At the exact time when you fly over the landmark, you press the REC button, or, even more practical, the "Magic Unlock / Position update" button of your Stick (HOTAS) This button is assigned on my flight stick, however it does nothing (the waypoint doesn't move and REC/VAL do not light up). Does it work only in some master mode? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed1606688689 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Hi Galinette I think you confuse Magic Unlock / position update with magic Slave / INS désignate. The first one is use for overfly update and the second for Radar OBL update. "Le bon chasseur" knows the difference:smilewink: Edited May 26, 2020 by "Tumbleweed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kercheiz Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yes! This was the other button. I confuse but the documentation, the controls settings, and your post all give different names to HOTAS buttons, so it's confusing :) The documentation says about INS overfly update on HOTAS: "Magic Unlock / Position update" The controls settings have these two entries in HOTAS: "Magic Slave/AG Designate/INS Position Update" "NAV Update/Magic Unlock" You wrote that the two buttons are: "Magic Unlock / position update" "Magic Slave / INS désignate" That's a big mess... Maybe they should have kept the french names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph21 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi, This button is assigned on my flight stick, however it does nothing (the waypoint doesn't move and REC/VAL do not light up). Does it work only in some master mode? Works only in Nav mode for INS Update. The switch handles Magic seeker in AA or AG mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
