correct as is Autopilot- Steering Select

[Rac3rX]

  The steering select doesn't work, from a cold started jet. The heading select works, but when steering select is toggled, the Viper just levels out any roll.But, it works as intended, from a hot start jet. I'm unaware of any settings that could have been missed, that effects the autopilot (normal alignment, calibrated to "10").

Did you also set the Pitch knob? You must have set to eitgher or on ALTitude or ATTitude position.

Because it all works well for me.

Hi 

seems to work fine here can you attach a short track replay showing the issue, you can save a track when you exit the mission

thanks and welcome to the forum

Check my short track. Do all as I did (except what I did on the DED, ALLOW page - not needed).

Yeah, that was the 1st thing I selected. I'll watch your track and try again. If it doesn't work, I'll submit mine

It seems that the stored alignment has the AP working perfectly, but the NORM alignment breaks it. That's exactly what I did in the Red Flag campaign.

File is too large, so here is a link: Track file

Can't watch the track at work, but did you confirm the starting coordinates on INS page on the DED for the NORM alignment?

Yes, it matches the F10 map. But even so, the steer select should steer it to where it (Assumes) the steering point is, if there's an alignment error. And every time, I get it to "10", then place it in NAV. I've been flying this bird for a year and never had this issue before.

Regardless if it matches F10, did you confirm the coordinates with the ENT key on the ICP? Stored Heading alignment doesn't require the coordinates to be confirmed, but NORM does.

[skywalker22]

I guess he did not.

This step is Mandatory for NORMAL alignment.

You must enter or confirm the latitude and longitude coordinates and elevation of your aircraft on the INS DED page within two minutes after starting an alignment . If you fail to do that in first 2 minutes, it will result in a degraded INS alignment. For more info check Chuck's manual on page 97.

Sorry for the late reply. Ahhh, I didn't press enter. I'll try that when I get home

[Tholozor]

Ensure to use ENT for both LAT and LON.

[Rac3rX]

That's what it was...never confirmed on the DED. It works now; thanks for your help guys
