After AutoStart the litening targeting information goes way out of whack and I can't drop any laser guided bombs. This is a problem that comes up often enough now I do an AutoStart & take off up into the air and try to use the litening to target for me. But the litening reports targets are over 200 nm away!! ! When they are 10 nm away in actuality . No idea where to reset this , or stop it from not working after the AutoStart.  A google search shows no information on the topic.

Hi

 

please ensure you switch to NAV after the Auto start has completed. 

 

if you still have problems please include a track replay showing the problem.

 

thank you

NAV will work, but it does pure inertial navigation and doesn't take advantage of GPS to correct for drift. Standard procedure is to set it to IFA in modern scenarios with GPS.  Counter-intuitive IMO.

heh, i would do manual start , however I have written 3000 lines or so of lua code and I am testing the mission for bugs and whatnot. I need to have  a fast Startup & Shutdown to check all the other stuff out. 

I had read up on that ,inertial navigation & GPS stuff,somewhere ?  Anyhow, I haven't put it all together yet. I do remember it said to switch to IFA and the AutoStartup seems to put it into that position. I will try nav to see if I can get the Laser guided bombs going again after it does that to me again. Not all the time , but just enough to make me try to figure out what is up?   Err, and what is going down , as well.🛩️

No, do not use NAV if the mission is after 86'. Always use IFA for gps corrections, also nav at least without satalite data is bugged.

What's bugged about NAV mode?

there are some bugs in weapons delivery when drift is nonzero (= you fly without gps). ccip line being horizontal instead of vertical and such.
