INS system not matching between HUD and HSI

[Bashibazouk]

I'm sure this is a senior moment or something like that, but when flying Mission 2, Bait, the directions on the HUD (tadpole etc) to the next waypoint don't match what I see on the HSI or the F10 map showing the mission defined points. When I take off, waypoint 1 is indicated as 65 miles behind me (SW, IIRC), but the HSI shows it about 20-30 miles to the front and right, NE.

Is this a bug, maybe from my mods, or something I've failed to do? I do recall seeing this before, I don't remember where but I assumed after a reboot that it fixed itself. Maybe I just did something right the next run through without realising it?

Any help appreciated. There's a lot of start up with this mission, which is fine, the usual INS stuff and relatively long F-16 process and the Maverick bore sighting, but it's frustrating as hell to go through all this and have the tadpole pointing in the almost opposite direction to that expected. 

I'm really excited about this campaign, I've loved GPS's other and free stuff. But this particular problem is a head scratcher, I've restarted the mission 4-5 times, restarted the game 3 times and rebooted my PC but it's still not right. Maybe rather than quitting the mission in a fit of pique I should just continue and see if it fixes itself or I can play through without the tadpole being correct for the first couple (at least) of waypoints?

I think I'll do another repair on the game, I did one not too long ago but it can't hurt.

Ok, yes. It is a senior moment. Because I set a  steer/target point with the Mav bore sighting, the tadpole, quite rightly pointed towards that. As soon as I set the TGP to the steerpoint, everything fixed.

D'oh. I'm only leaving this embarrassing thread in case it happens to anyone else!

 

Full steam ahead and as you were, support team. Weasels Over Syria, here we come!

It's a common error since the 2.9 update, always make sure you undesignate otherwise your SPI screws up your steer point.  Hope you enjoy the campaign!
