Obiwan Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Greetings, I've been playing around with ABRIS the INU. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something else. This was first noticed while in hover after a flight, so I don't think inertia would have anything to do with it. I reproduced it on the ground for the screenshot. While adding single waypoints in the ABRIS is straight forward ("To"), the coordinates obviously have to be programmed into the INU as well so the AP can navigate to it. Instead of burning "Waypoints" (wanted to leave the existing flight plan untouched), I decided to program a location as a "Nav Target" point. So, on the INU, switched to "Edit" mode, Nav Target 1, entered coordinates, switch back to "Oper" mode, and the AP can fly to it just fine. However, the display of the "Nav Target" point 1 on the ABRIS doesn't match the actual coordinates. In order to get the coordinates, I used the "Marker" in ABRIS. Those coordinates were entered into the INU. But the "Marker" location in ABRIS doesn't match the "Nav Target" 1 location in ABRIS. Attached is a screenshot of the issue. You can see the red "Marker" box in the upper rigth corner of the ABRIS. (The blue dot was an ad-hoc "To" waypoint in ABRIS). The GPS location is 44*58'30, 38*01'30. (The difference between 8 and 0 is hard to see in the screenshot though, but it's accurate). You will also note that the coordinates are entered into the INU as "Nav Target 1". But on the ABRIS, that target (blue box with the 1) isn't in the same place. Any ideas? Is this a bug or did I mess up somewhere?
Obiwan Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Doh! Shame on me. Just found another thread regarding the same issue. I'm gonna verify in a minute. Feel free to delete this thread. My apologies.
