significant navigation issue

[skypickle]

Situation: I am heading north towards Gaudata where there is a fortification to be destroyed. I placed WPT3 directly on the target. The HUD however shows me headed east.

You can see WPT3 is selected in the flight plan and correctly shows up in the HUD, 'A03' bottom right. The diamond is directly ahead of me in the HUD. The HSD howver shows my flight plan rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. It is showing north to my left and depicts me heading east. It even has the Moskva directly ahead of me. Indeed, the Moskva is directly ahead of me and I AM going north. The F10 map shows the Moskva and Gaudata north of me.

 

 

Watching the F10 map I am inching north even tho the HUD says I'm going east.

 

I fire off an AKG but it starts heading west.

 

 

Maybe it thinks north is to my left just like the HSD. I watch the missile to be sure it is nowhere near land and it does indeed crash into the sea where the F10 map says it is.

 

 

Mission file attached. Maybe I set up the mission wrong in the editor?

Trk file is corrupt-it missed the plane startup so the jet just sits on the ramp the whole time.

 

Radar shows the Moskva ahead of me - the F10 map says the cruiser is north of me, the HSD says the cruiser is east of me.

Your GPS is off. Try turning it on.

Your INS looks to be misaligned, did you enter your True Heading when doing the fast align i.e. one of your spawns has a THDG = 250°, if not set THDG defaults to 000°, so the HSI compass rose, HUD tape, etc. would be 110° off.

If you can't get a good track, a video or screen shot of your HSI/INS pages after alignment would help.
