grnd alignment

[sublime]

ok. I never have probs at sea.

at ground its endless

i hit own a/c and often stored alignment shows up,. if I leave it alone though (also noting no long and lat is there) it stops at 17 during alignment

if i try to put in the stuff it seems to mess it up. whats the deal, do I always on the ground automatically input owwn a/c long and lat right as I start alignment? can ground based f14s have stored alignments?

You need to enter your own coordinates and altitude, for the alignment to proceed beyond 17. On the carrier the system recieves this data through the data link from the carrier. On the ground you have to put it in yourself.

ok. makes sense. Thats what I thought perhaps was wrong. I can just start entering it before 17 though of course right?

hey did you see my hot trigger post in the bugs section? youre one of the most knowledgable ppl I see around. there arent a lot of dedicated RIOs but Im almost certain ive found a bug... thats sorta major in that sometimes the RIO gets no hot trigger and the radar seems to simply not work.

Id say 'user error' but I saw this with a pilot I prolly flew 50-80 hrs with, and had shot down dozens of planes and bombed LGB otherwise dozens of targets. hooking targets for phoenixes is ridiculously easy. yet sometimes.. it wouldnt work and Id end up screaming flip the acm and just pitbull them! sometimes shooting a missile broke the bug, other times it didnt go away until the next load up of game or sortie.

Its never over and over, nor there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

I have tracks, and another forum member witnessed it with me on hoggit last night as the pilot, he couldnt even loose a sidewinder (which i had neveer seen before) I could see from the backseat armament was on, a2a mode was on, etc. I also saw he PLM'd a target which did lock. it makes no sense..
