SantaKing Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) When aligning with "Normal Align" to either value 10 or 6, Data Link is not working after setting NAV mode. If i turn INS knob to off, and back to Stored Align, still in the same flight. DataLink works in NAV mode when its finished. If i then go from NAV mode to Normal alignment, it starts from value 10, and align to 6, and then DataLink work in NAV mode. MIDS is set to ON XMT is set to L16 IFF master is set to Norm. I've tried this in multiple "slots" of Vipers, in multiplayer. Same result. I am also sure im not moving, rearming or doing anything to ruin the alignment procedure. INS align coordinates and SALT is confirmed. ALIGN flashing in hud when align is ready, then selecting NAV mode. Just to make sure, here is dropbox link to Track file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cuxaldmtoxl5e2l/CASCAP_SYRIA_DAY_1.5-20201220-153237.trk?dl=0 Edited December 21, 2020 by SantaKing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you at least confirm the INS alignment coordinates and SALT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirm as above and wait until you get a flashing ALIGN in the HUD before selecting NAV mode, when doing a Normal Align.

Setting XMT on HSD is not necessary, as this is a rotary that selects to what datalink "network" you will Transmit for example A-A info or A-G info, setting it to L16 will mean that you'll send your data over Link-16 network. This isn't modelled yet so no use in it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was to big (30MB) to upload here. My procedure for alignment was: Check and confirm coordinates for alignment is correct, start Normal alignment, wait for precise alignment, value = 6. Select NAV mode, turn on MIDS, despite Saladino's post, XMT to L16, IFF to Norm. DataLink not working. Same flight, not respawning, just still in the pit. Turn OFF NAV data, Use stored heading alignment, wait for aligning value 10. Select NAV, DataLink is now working. Again same flight, Switch to Normal alignment from NAV, wait for aligning from value = 10 to value = 6. Select NAV, DataLink is working Edited December 20, 2020 by SantaKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select NAV, DataLink is working The best way to ensure the INS is aligned, is to wait for FLASHING ALIGN in the HUD. Don't worry what the values are in the INS page. In fact, I've seen cases that if you sit and watch the INS DED, the system doesn't in fact align correctly. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaKing Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 For the record, at normal alignment, it start flashing ready at value 10. 6 is for precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Painter- Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I can confirm this (happened to me today with Harms loaded, if that matters). Regards REAPER 31 | Painter [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terzi Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 INS should have nothing to do with disappearing symbols on the datalink. But yes it IS broken. We fly every week with friends and we ALWAYS have some problem with datalink. Sometimes DL works for all of us, then after 5 minutes nothing works, another 7 minutes and some people's DL works. This is bugged since it was introduced... [CENTER] [/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
