Terzi Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Hello, If you start your aircraft from a hangar in airfield 1 and fly to airfield 2 then stop the engine for repair, after you start the jet the pre-loaded INS coordinates point to the hangar in airfield 1. How to store this location before shutting down the jet? So that I do not lose where I was before the shutdown. 2 [CENTER] [/CENTER]
Machalot Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I think it's supposed to be automatic, but is not modeled. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

The INS is supposed to show you the coordinates for the position where you shut it down, if this isn't how it's currently modelled it is definitely bug report worthy. A good way to know that you have the correct coordinates is to write down the coordinates on the INS page on a piece of paper pre-shutdown, this ensures that you have your coordinates.
Machalot Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Strangely, ground power doesn't keep the INS up. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

I can confirm that this is definitely not how it currently works in DCS. As @Terzi said, it will just revert to the coordinates of the initial spawnpoint of the aircraft when starting it up again at another location. You then have to manually enter the current coordinates. Edit: At least this is the case when repairing the aircraft after shutdown and before restart of the aircraft.

Rubberduck85 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Strangely, ground power doesn't keep the INS up.Even with battery on (switch all the way up)? I usually align (8 mins) with ground power to save fuel and it works, it should also keep the alignment.Sent from my MI 10 Lite 5G using Tapatalk

Like I said, if it doesn't currently work like this I will highly recommend someone to create a bug report on the issue including a track file.

I think repairing resets a lot of things to their original state. I will test this again next time I play the Viper. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic.
