Lace Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 First time in the Viper for a couple of weeks. Cold start and full INS as normal, and then depart Nellis. I noticed that there was no STPT distance or ETE information in the HUD or the backup HSI, and I was unable to engage STR SEL A/P mode. I don't think I did anything unusual during start up, but I couldn't find anything obvious as to what was wrong. Has something changed? The route was showing up fine on the HSD page of the MFD, I just wasn't getting STPT info. I checked in A-A, A-G and NAV modes. I can post a track, but though maybe I've just missed something in the changelog. Laptop Pilot.

razo+r Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Nothing should have changed, so post your track if you want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lace Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Normal alignment and LL entered into the DED. I'll try again later today. My brain might have still been 'thinking in F-15E', so it's possible I did something incorrectly. The problem with so many excellent FF modules, is that every time I learn a new one, some penguins fall off the iceberg! 1 Laptop Pilot.

Solution _SteelFalcon_ Posted June 29, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 29, 2023 remember for full alignments you must confirm LAT/LONG on the INS page within the first 2 min of starting the alignment, else it wont align properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'd forgotten about that stipulation. Laptop Pilot.

Lace Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Ok, so I tried again last night and all was well, so I guess the issue was the 2 minute LL entry. Thanks @_SteelFalcon_ for the reminder. 1 Laptop Pilot.
