[INVESTIGATING] INS Bug

[hein22]

So after the new INS implementation I reported a bug where the alignment without GPS magically knew new coordinates if aircraft moved. Now that's fixed (aweseome!) but I found a new bug I think. With the INS knob in the OFF position, if you move the INS coordinates move as well to the exact position like if the INS was not only turned on but aligned as well. Track attached.

Thanks, I will check it out, it's still a little WIP at the moment. The INS will update ok with or without updating WP 0 right now, so still tweaking.

Hi NL. Actually now that you mention it, the wp0 bug was fixed but the INS still provides an OK status. Might be correct though, the INS is telling you it aligned but doesn't really know that the position is the actual one or not, but could be a bug as well I don't really know. But that's a different thing. For now this bug was more about the knob position that I think it is not supposed to energize the INS. Thanks!

Maybe if you move far enough it will not give OK? No idea, but might be worth of trying.

I've tried but doesn't indicate an issue, I am still reading up on it. But just wanted to mention its still a little WIP.

Yeah I understand, WIP is WIP, nothing to complain there. But it was good to realize what you mentioned: that the INS no longer magically knows coordinates if you moved first, but it still gives an OK reading.
