Michel0079 Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Since the update 2.9 i noticed that my INS / GPS is not tuned well. After proper start-up with STD HDG etc (which normally works well for me) it does not align after flip the switch to IFA. It then suddenly lost its 'mind'. I waited for alignment of course and "OK" sign. So i cant fly on TACAN etc at the moment.
razo+r Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I didnt have issues when I flew it. Can you attach a short track?
ED Team Lord Vader Posted October 24, 2023 ED Team Posted October 24, 2023 Hi @Michel0079 We require a track of this bug occurring if you can reproduce. I tested myself and found no issues. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 24, 2023 ED Team Posted October 24, 2023 just tested also, not seeing any problem. Maybe terrain / mission specific? Check the mission date also. need to see a track replay example. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Michel0079 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 Thanks for the attention. It was on a multiplay server. Where i had this for 2 times. The track is added from last flight. If that is the 'track' you mean. Tacview-20231023-183531-DCS-Client-Through_The_Inferno_CCS_v2.1.8.zip.acmi

Michel0079 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 OK, it is too big with 170 mb. So i will generate a shorter one tomorrow.
Michel0079 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Posted October 25, 2023 I just tried to get the error but it was now working. Maybe i was starting up too much at same time. For now im good i think. I try to just start engine and align and not flip too much switches.
HE5405 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Ive also just encountered this, got to about 3 minutes and INS stops counting down and just flashes, reset the INS sequence 3 times and just sat at 0.00 flashing. Turned INS to IFA and it started the countdown and eventually worked.

So just wait 1 or maybe 2 mins. I found that my problem with INS was not so much INS that lost calibration but i think it had to do with TACAN channels that were not found. I noticed that when i entered a TACAN code that does not exist, the compass starts spinning as well. I guess there is/was something wrong, in the server that i play in, with TACAN. I always get the spinning when trying to find a tanker or the carrier. I'll adress that there. Edited October 26, 2023 by Michel0079

Michel0079 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Ok well the compass is spinning. I dont know if that is the same thing as "not getting aligned". For who wants to study a track, i post one hereby. In the end of the track i tune on a non existant TCN and an existent one, of the carrier.

When the TCN is spinning that means that it is powered ON but has no valid signal coming in (ie out of range of tuned TCN, wrong TCN freq entered etc). It was reported fixed in today's hotfix, but in the 1st version of 2.9 if you were in MP and didn't have Voice Chat checked in both client and server you got a really restricted range (like 20 nm). 1

Thx for the info. I indeed had voice chat turned off since it gave me a ping of 400 and i got kicked . Good the update was quick.

Good the update was quick. TCN had reduced range, but it still has nothing to do with your issue with the INS.
