The Night life

[HoYa]

On the f16 mission “the night life”. I can’t get the alignment to work for navigation.  Regardless of how long I sit there or manually enter it the alignment just gets “stuck” at 93 or 92, and never flashes on the hud.  Anyone else ???
 

seems like a really cool mission that I would love to fly.

You'll need to post a track,

 

when the alignement stuck happens, quit the mission and click save track then post the track here.

 

Alignement is really sensitive so if you are rearming the plane and the plane shakes it can get stuck, or if the plane moves a tiny bit, it goes wrong.

One guess would be you are rearming/refuelling whilst aligning, or the wake turbulence of a plane taking off near you may be making the plane rock slightly

this makes sense, f15s are taking off and the viper noticeably rocks back and forth. I’ll wait till they are gone.  Tks

Hmm that is good to know. This is something that might need a look at and sensitivity toned down a bit.

It is possible to align an aircraft in windy conditions with it 'moving' around on it's oleos. You only have an issue if the aircraft actually changes position/location during the process.

wake turbulence is affecting alignment so it is probably that. I do have a report open for it. 

 

thanks

Sadly that’s not it.  I might have a corrupt file it something.  The HUD is all screwed up even the flight controls are way off.  Even the light that indicates nose wheel steering doesn’t work, basically it’s all screwed up…

I would suggest you remove any unofficial mods ( if any ) run a slow repair or verify if steam, if you still have problems attach a short track replay showing the problem.

 

thanks

I'm glad I found this because I was having the same problem and yes it's getting stuck right after getting hit by the turbulence of the eagles taking off

I wrote a bug report about this issue a few weeks after the F-16 launched into early access. I was surprised to see it hasn't been fixed yet.
A work-around for now is to open the mission in the ME, and move your aircraft to the opposite side of the runway, into a hangar. There, it won't be affected by the turbulence.
