Cartridge Data Not Used

[LtCol_Davenport]

Reporting problem with the data cartridge.

 

Problem:

The module seems it simply don't use it.

I tried not inserting the cartridge and do everything else as usual. Everything worked.

Waypoint were loaded, the alignment was correct and new coordinates inserted was registered correctly.

 

Thought:

It seems the aircraft does not check if the cartridge it is inserted or not.
Seems like an "If-Statement" missing, if someone get what I mean.

 

Test environment:

AJS-37 placed on a Georgian airport (if the maps may matter) for a cold ramp start.
In Mission Editor also I added just a couple of waypoints.

Started up the plane as usual, when the computer turned on I inserted the 9099 code (without the cartridge) and it loaded all the waypoints planned in the ME.

After take off, I verified the accuracy of those waypoints and they were accurate.

I checked for any TERNAV error code but seems it were fine, at least for my understanding.

Than, I proceed to test if inserting new coordinates gave some sort of problems but it register correctly and saved as new waypoint. Again, accuracy was correct.

Finally, I tried landing, or better, check if the landing airport was in the system and yes, it was.

 

Conclusion:

This was a short test flight (<10 min), in one map on one airport.
It is surely nothing empirical but I think it is enough to raise a yellow light and ask to you, Developers, to check for it, as this is certainly not a normal behavior.

Otherwise, if this is the intended behavior, I would like some explanation and ask what it is the use of the Data Cartridge also.

 

Thanks.

Think you're correct. IIRC in the take off training mission, or was it taxi, when the plane is started, it's not even inserted.

I didn’t know that.

I did this this basically out of curiosity.
With a friend we asked if the cartridge also have the TERNAV data to make coordinate system works and basically I was trying that, and ended up finding what I found

Thank you, tracked for further investigation.
