just compass in HUD

[cloudkake]

Hi Guys,

in 2.7 i start up as normal and when switching to NAV on the INS i now get nothing but the compass at the top of the HUD. Has something changed or am i missing something really stupid? All warning lights out etc..

Has something changed in its preflight config since the 2.7 update im missing?

Thanks.

Can you post a track, AFAIK nothing much has changed with alignment other than than the need to use WP 1-20 for the initial alignment i.e.

 

• enter initial co-ordinates and altitude into PREP 20

• validate to start the alignment

• switch to Nav mode once complete

I always used pre-aligned mode. I can see it says "fast alignment' in the special menu now, does that mean this has changed? (sorry im lazy!)

I believe so, but I haven't used fast alignment in 2.7, so don't know the details.

there's a new option (that has replaced the old one) to enable in the special option to allow ALCM on waypoint 00. If not enabled, you'll have to do a full alignment.

 

ALCM has to be performed with this option enabled, you can't start anymore without any alignment

 

EDIT: from the 2.7 update sticky post

 

The “INS is always aligned” checkbox in the special option menu of the mirage have been replaced by a “Fast alignment (ALCM) ready” checkbox. With it checked, you will now need to do at minimum an ALCM before moving the aircraft for your INS to work and you can start the ALN or ALCM on the BUT 00 as the aircraft did not move since the last time it was stopped.

With option enabled and waypoint 00 selected as PREP:

 

Select ALCM

Click VAL on PCN

Wait for alignment (1mn30), "Pret" light will get steady on PCN

Select NAV

 

Done

Thank you, on behalf of the lazy people
