H60MTI Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Constantly....Can't get it past alignment. Raz said about 4 mins in the start up tutorial...Have definitely sat there for way longer than that.

Dentedend10 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Do you see the countdown in the HUD?

Sirbum Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 also do not remove the wheel chocks or disengage the breaks at all during the alignment. I removed the wheel chocks while it was going and it reverted to the very beginning and I had to restart the mission due to it hanging. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMEDooley Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Also do not move the rudders as they will move the nose wheel. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee1 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Got stuck on that too. Redid the align and all was well. Didn't touch anything else controls wise. I had reset the tacan on first try and I think that knocked it out! Edited June 25, 2023 by Lee1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzer1977 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Got stuck several times during alignment with either "GC HOLD", "GC NO TAXI" or "GC PP REQ". I think it's related to the exact startup sequence. Doing things out of sequence from the tutorials seems to break INS alignment.

H60MTI Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Well that's not cool...Sometimes when one thing takes a minute or 2, I'll move on to something else to make it go faster. Have to be sure to yell, "Out of sequence!" when you do though Lol Former SSG US Army UH-60A/L/M Crewchief "2 To Fly!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy_99 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Solution start jet, Park brake on, set ins to aglin wait a few seconds rotate back to the off position wait a good 10 seconds then set it back to algin, It will then say GC no taxi, Wafit for countdown then bobs your uncle. Thats how i got round it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miro Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Parking brake set, and Don't move the throttle even milimeter! If You move thottle, hold will pop up. Edited June 25, 2023 by Miro :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazub Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 sometimes i come up fine with just turning ins align off, but otherwise i have to pull up the kneeboard and enter the gps values for my location. Then do GC Align. I think it is because i made a mission and have the full cold start option set. GrimReapers vid shows how to enter the GPS values if you look it up on youtube. Kind of a pain. Otherwise i get stuck in , i think , 'GC require pp' state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerovenator Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 As some mentioned, this indicates that the aircraft has moved during alignment. If someone struggles finding the issue, check your axis assignments for pilot and WSO. In my case I forgot to invert the thrust axis for the WSO, so I ran into this issue the moment I switched from pilot to WSO to engage TEWS and TGP to STBY. The fact, that you cannot hear the engine (thanks ECS :-))and that the wheel chocks were in place, prevented me from recognizing I am on MIL power for a short time. 1 I7-9700K -- 32GB RAM -- RTX 4070 -- Virpil T-50CM3 Throttle + WarBRD Base -- Thrustmaster TPR -- Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignition Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I had this issue once, and then never again. As mentioned above don't touch the controls and everything will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backspace340 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It only seems to ask for coordinates if you get something wrong the first time round, e.g. if you see 'GC HOLD' the first time and alignment doesn't progress, then switch INS off and back to GC align, it'll then ask for coordinates (even though the PP coordinates it wants are the same ones that are already input in the UFC). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time a feature makes it to production the last second and then there's still old information out. Might be interesting to see how the Alignment and Alert options relate to this.

idenwen Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If stuck in GC HOLD and not leaving it I switch INS off and on again for alingment and reenter both coordinates, switch it off and on again and enter N coordinate and it jumps to NO TAXI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Also, don't rearm while aligning. The sudden center of gravity shift threw off the alignment process, I think. I just changed my startup flow last night to: Start Aircraft> Align> Rearn. Aligned flawlessly. Also Rearm can be made before initiating alignment, ofc. Not touching the ruder controls also a must during alignment. 1 hour ago, idenwen said: If stuck in GC HOLD and not leaving it I switch INS off and on again for alingment and reenter both coordinates, switch it off and on again and enter N coordinate and it jumps to NO TAXI I found that you need to re enter all coordinates again after off and GC align. Wait at least 10 second to go from off to GC align, re enter the coordinates, or align via stored heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
