Tiger-II Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 If you fly the aircraft, land, shutdown, refuel or whatever, then re-start, the INS requires no alignment and remembers everything, even though it was completely switched off. It acts like it was still running when it wasn't. 1 Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

razo+r Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Check special options. It should have the option to enable/disable INS effects.
Spurts Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Your position and heading would be stored, so that should be correct. 1
Tiger-II Posted August 24, 2022 Author Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I thought that might be the case...but even so, shouldn't the INS still take at least a moment to align the platform? I need to see how this platform works, but most INS platforms will tumble during spin-down as they aren't being corrected anymore. From the info I can find, platform alignment should take just a few seconds. As it is, the system is ready instantly.

razo+r Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 Check your special settings if you have INS set to always aligned by default or not. 1

INS is set so it must be fully aligned. Note that I observed this behavior after flying, shutting down, and starting up again. I did not reload the aircraft. It would appear then that the INS is warm-starting correctly, but in that case my question becomes: is the warm-start timing correct??? 1 Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

QuiGon Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I have to agree with @Tiger-II: You can completely shut down the INS in the Harrier for as long as you want, but when you start it up again it's already fully aligned. That can't be right and I don't know any other aircraft in DCS that does that. Even with a pre-stored alignment, the INS needs to do a quick and basic platform alignment, which is not the case here.
