correct as is HMD Align on ground power

[Jalava]

HMD->ALIGN cannot be initiated with cage/uncage button unless ground power 3B is active when doing HMD aligment on ground pre-cranking.

Is this bug or do you need to have FLIR bus powered for cage/uncage button to work for HMD alignment?

Hi @Jalava

Ground Power SW3-B doesn't just power the FLIR, it also powers other systems. We'll have a look at our sources.

If you have publicly available non-classified documentation that shows this logic is wrong, please send it to @BIGNEWY.

Thanks

Hi again, @Jalava

It's confirmed. Ground Power Switch 3B powers the armament computer. Since the CAGE button is associated with the SMS page it won't operate until that particular system is powered on. This is correct behaviour. Thanks for bringing it up, though.
