cannot repoduce and missing track file No autopilot on steerpoints, no HAD, no Datalink

[majorswitcher]

I don't know if I'm missing something very obvious here, because this worked this afternoon (post-update) but I can't get my datalink symbols to show up on HSD, on autopilot steerpoint it does not steer to the steerpoint (hdg works), and also the HTS/HAD does not pick up radar signals.

I have fully aligned the INS before moving. MDS switch to ON only after the TIME display shows GPS SYSTEM. DLINK page set to ON, Coarse switches to Fine. 

 

Am I missing something ?

It sounds like it might not be aligned properly but it would be best to include a track so we can see for sure. Thanks.

after this I tried with stored heading alignment, and now all is good. I'll try next time to use normal alignment and save the track. thanks

I noticed that when starting the F-16C alignment in normal INS, the autopilot fix apparently doesn't work for the STR.

If doing a normal alignment, remember to confirm your position within the first 2 min of alignment (press enter on lat/long/elev lines on the INS page)

else you‘ll have a bad alignment
