netizensmith Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Issue: From a cold start the automatic startup sequence usually takes the INS switch to the IFA postition but in VR mode it only goes to the GND position, leaving you without a working compass etc. Can be disconcerting for new players who have always played the game starting from hot. To reproduce: Launch DCS in VR mode Play the instant action, Cold and Dark Choose auto startup and allow it to complete Check the INS switch Workaround: After auto startup completes, turn the INS knob to NAV or IFA
Bailey Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I tried in VR (Index) and the switch went to IFA. I tried in flatscreen and the switch went to IFA. Maybe you could provide a track to help solve the issue?

netizensmith Posted November 4, 2020 Author Posted November 4, 2020 Ok this looks promising. I went delving into the two tracks. In the options file for the 2D mode we have this: ["plugins"] = { ["Su-25T"] = { ["CPLocalList"] = "default", }, -- end of ["Su-25T"] ["AV8BNA"] = { ["CPLocalList"] = "default", ["INS_Alignment"] = 2, ["INS_GYROHasNAV"] = false, ["MPCD_EXPORT"] = false, }, -- end of ["AV8BNA"] whereas in the VR file we have this: ["plugins"] = { ["Su-25T"] = { ["CPLocalList"] = "default", }, -- end of ["Su-25T"] ["AV8BNA"] = { ["CPLocalList"] = "default", ["INS_Alignment"] = 0, ["INS_GYROHasNAV"] = false, ["MPCD_EXPORT"] = false, }, -- end of ["AV8BNA"] Are these options that I've set somehow? Indeed yes! So I use the DCS updater/Launcher by Skate Zilla and it seems that even though I choose my VR profile, as soon as I launch using the "VR/ON" launch button it quickly switches to its own VR Headset profile (no idea where it gets this from) and when I check in the special tab for the AV8B, shure enough INS is set to not aligned. Mystery solved. Not a bug (not for Razbam or ED anyway, possibly for Skate Zilla but I'll read the docs to see what's going on there) 1
Vakarian Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Probably, that seems like an options that are set in special options 1
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Thanks. Have uploaded a VR track and a 2D track. So you have determined this was an issue with how you set the jet and the mods you were suing to launch DCS? Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 @netizensmith please confirm with my above post. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Marking as RESOLVED and moving to RESOLVED. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.
